Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.”
