Famous quotes containing the words phelps and/or dodge:

    A literary woman’s best critic is her husband ...
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    The child who enters life comes not with knowledge or intent,
    So those who enter death must go as little children sent.
    Nothing is known. But I believe that God is overhead;
    And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.
    —Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)
