Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Lord Byron
Image
But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.

A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.
