Famous quotes containing the words wives and/or henry:
“Not rarely, and this is especially true of wives and mothers, the motive behind assuming a disproportionate share of work and responsibility is completely unselfish. We want to protect, to spare those of whom we are fond. We forget that, regardless of the motive, the results of such action are almost always destructive and unproductive.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Lord of himself, though not of lands,
And having nothing, yet hath all.”
—Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)
