Ouida
What we love once, we love forever. Shall there be joy in heaven over those who repent, yet no forgiveness for them upon earth? --Wanda

Ouida
Dishonor is like the Aaron's Beard in the hedgerows it can only poison if it be plucked.
Ouida

Ouida
Great men have always had dogs.
Ouida
Christianity has been cruel in much to the human race. It has quenched much of the sweet joy and gladness of life it has caused the natural passions and affections of it to be held as sins.
Ouida
An easy-going husband is the one indispensable comfort of life.
Ouida
We only see clearly when we have reached the depths of woe.
Ouida
The world never leaves one in ignorance or in peace.
Ouida
you have not a boat of your own, that is just it that is what women always suffer from they have to steer, but the craft is some one else's, and the haul too.
Ouida
