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

“We walk into Joshua’s room. We don’t do it very often; it’s a very discouraging thing. A few weeks ago, I’m walking down the hall and coming out of his room came two roaches; both of them had suitcases in their hands. And I passed them in the hall and asked them ‘Where you guys goin’?’ They looked at each other and said ‘We can’t live this way anymore.'”
Denis McBride
“As often as we do good, we sacrifice.”

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
