Merry Wives

Famous quotes containing the words merry and/or wives:

“O who is glory in the shapeless maps,
Now make the world of me as I have made
A merry manshape of your walking circle.”

“Not rarely, and this is especially true of wives and mothers, the motive behind assuming a disproportionate share of work and responsibility is completely unselfish. We want to protect, to spare those of whom we are fond. We forget that, regardless of the motive, the results of such action are almost always destructive and unproductive.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
