Washington Irving
No man knows what the wife of his bosom is until he has gone with her through the fiery trials of this world.
Washington Irving

Washington Irving
Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs? No - no, your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.
Washington Irving
