“Thirty, 40 years ago, more than that now, even, the cook was certainly at the bottom of the social scale. And any mother would've wanted their child to marry a doctor, a lawyer, an architect, not a cook.

“People can pass thirty nights in dancing and no one complains about it, but if they watch through a single Christmas night they cough and claim their stomach is upset the next morning.

“When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form.” IfsThinkingYearsFirstsBelieveChildrenBodyFormThreeLosesChanceAbilityMillionsTechnologyFeminismBabyEvolutionFemaleAspectClaimsSuperiorsThirtyBreastsMakersFormulasMilkNursingThirty YearsBreastfeedingFemale Power Author:Christiane Northrup
“Our feelings probably are not less strong at fifty than they were ten or fifteen years before; but they have changed their objects, and dwell on far different prospects. At five-and-thirty a man thinks of what his own existence is; when the maturity of age has grown into its autumn, he is wrapt up in that of others. The loss of wife or child then becomes more deplorable, as being impossible to repair; for no fresh connection can give us back the companion of our earlier years, nor a "new-sprung race" compensate for that, whose career we hoped to see run.” ThinkingMenGivingYearsChildrenDifferentFeelingsRunningAgeStrongLossRaceExistenceCareersFiveWifeImpossibleObjectsChangedTenConnectionsMaturityThirtyFiftyAutumnCompanionFifteenProspectsFifteen YearsSprung Book:Lodore Source: Lodore
“Never say you are too old. You do not say it now, perhaps; but by and by, when the hair grows gray and the eyes grow dim and the young despair comes to curse the old age, you will say, "It is too late for me." Never too late! Never too old! How old are you--thirty, fifty, eighty? What is that in immortality? We are but children.” ChildrenEyeAgeYoungGrowsHairDespairLateOld AgeImmortalityCurseThirtyFiftyToo LateGrayEightyOld YouNever Too Late Author:Lyman Abbott
