    There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
