Oscar WildeAs long as a woman can look ten years younger than her daughter, she is perfectly satisfied
About This Quote
This quote, which is attributed to the Duchess of Marlborough, is one of the oldest proverbs in existence. It demonstrates the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle for women, especially when it comes to looking younger. Sixty-year-old women are not considered to be young by any means. However, if a sixty-year-old woman can look ten years younger than her daughter, she is considered to have “perfected” her life.
