Gratitude bestows reverence.....changing forever how we experience life and the world.
John Milton
Image
Extol not riches then, the toil of fools, The wise man's cumbrance, if not snare, more apt To slacken virtue, and abate her edge, Than prompt her to do aught may merit praise.
John Milton

Nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote.
John Milton
Image
Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay To mould me man? Did I solicit thee From darkness to promote me?
