Myrtle Reed
As if by magic, the love of the many comes with the love of the one.
Myrtle Reed
The spirit in which one earns his daily bread means as much to his soul as the bread itself may mean to his body.
Myrtle Reed
Pedestals are always lonely.
Myrtle Reed
No woman need fear the effect of absence upon the man who honestly loves her. The needle of the compass, regardless of intervening seas, points forever toward the north. Pitiful indeed is she who fails to be a magnet and blindly becomes a chain.
Myrtle Reed
Sins of commission are far more productive of happiness than the sins of omission.
