Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
Courage was America's watchword, but a courage of the body rather than of the soul - physical courage, not moral.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
It is only in his head that man is heroic in the pit of his stomach he is always a coward.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
To the bottle! In infancy, the milk bottle in our prime, the wine bottle in our dotage, the pill bottle.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I suppose it is because woman's courage is mental and man's physical, that in times of great strain women always make the better showing.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust.
Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
