“And oh, what a mercy it is that these women do not exercise their powers oftener! We can't resist them, if they do. Let them show ever so little inclination, and men go down on their knees at once: old or ugly, it is all the same. And this I set down as a positive truth. A woman with fair opportunities, and without an absolute hump, may marry whom she likes. Only let us be thankful that the darlings are like the beasts of the field, and don't know their own power. They would overcome us entirely if they did.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“True love always makes a man better, no matter what woman inspires it”

“A street in Constantinople is a picture which one ought to see once not oftener.”

“Pray often; for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan”
John Bunyan
“You know...My mother told me...very often, at that - to be the absolute BEST at WHATEVER I did with my life. You've no idea how much that stuck with me.”
