WISE WORDS ABOUT WOMEN – From Good Housekeeping published in 1886
- Woman is the queen of social life.
- Domestic law should be like that of heaven, the law of heaven is love.
- Wife, a guardian angel o’er his life presiding, doubling his pleasures, and his cares dividing.
- If you would know the political and moral condition of a people, ask as to the condition of its women.
- To a father waxing old nothing is dearer than a daughter, sons have spirits of a higher pitch, but less inclined to sweet, endearing tenderness.
- Happy is it to place a daughter, yet it pains a father’s heart when he delivers to another’s house a child, the object of his tender care.
- I know the sum of all that makes a man, a just man happy, consists in the well-choosing of his wife, and then well to agree it does require equality of years, of birth, of fortune.
