All things are forgiven to the woman who holds her tongue. The greatest vice of the women is gossip, and the greatest folly of the men is greed. If some people get to heaven, no one will be more surprised at the achievement than themselves. Troubles have walked the highways of human life since the morning stars sang together; and yet when we meet them on the dusty roads we travel, we pretend astonishment and annoy high heaven with our cries. |
