Famous quotes containing the word decrees:
“Men never think, at least seldom think, what a hard task it is for us women to go through this very often. God’s will be done, and if He decrees that we are to have a great number of children why we must try to bring them up as useful and exemplary members of society.”
—Victoria (1819–1901)
