Men may act as cruelly as dragons, but dragons will never act as men do.

About This Quote

Dragons will never act as men do. This is a very old saying which refers to the differences between men and women. The idea is that men have a different way of thinking from women. Men can be extremely cruel and hard-headed, which is the reason why they are not as kind as women.
