Myrtle Reed
Image
When the years bring wisdom, one learns to leave many problems to their own working out.
Myrtle Reed
Image
it is bad manners to contradict a guest. You must never insult people in your own house - always go to theirs.
Myrtle Reed
Image
It is personal vanity of the most flagrant type which intrudes itself, unasked, into other people's affairs. There are few of us who do not feel capable of ordering the daily lives of others, down to the most minute detail.
Myrtle Reed
Image
A good forgettery is a happier possession than a good memory.
Myrtle Reed
Image
Content is a matter of temperament rather than circumstance.
Myrtle Reed
Image
If there's anythin' on earth that can be more tryin' than any kind of relative, I don't know what it is, but relatives by marriage comes first - easy.
