    The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
    —Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)

    All the average human being asks is something he can call a home; a family that is fed and warm; and now and then a little happiness; once in a long while an extravagance.
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)
