For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. 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–?)
“Three early risings make an extra day.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The secret of a long life is knowing when it’s time to go.”
—Michele Shocked (b. 1962)
