It translates in English as "Without women, the beginning of our life would be helpless; the middle, devoid of pleasure; and the end, of consolation."
The dictum was first recorded in L'Hermite de la Chaussée d'Antin, ou observations sur les mœurs et les usages français au commencement du xixe siècle, a collection of writings by de Jouy.
