Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
