There was once a little girl who was so very intelligent that her parents feared that she would die. But an aged aunt, who had crossed the Atlantic in a sailing-vessel, said, ‘My dears, let her marry the first man she falls in love with, and she will make such a fool of herself that it will probably save her life’. Edith Wharton

“I know this is hard for you to hear. God knows it was hard for me to live through. But if you expect me to disown my daughter, I’m afraid you will be disappointed.” ~ Cora Crawley

Happy Mother’s Day!

It is so easy for a woman to become what the man she loves believes her to be. Edith Wharton
