“Every wife ought to answer for her man. If the husband be engaged in a seditious club, or drinks mysterious healths, or be frugal of his candles on a rejoicing night, let her look to him and keep him out of harm's way; or the world will be apt to say, she has a mind to be a widow before her time. She ought, in such cases, to exert the authority of the curtain lecture; and if she finds him of a rebellious disposition, to tame him, as they do birds of prey, by dinning him in the ears all night long.” IfsMenWorldWayMindLooksLongNightAnswersCasesWifeOughtDrinkHusbandAuthorityBirdEarsClubsHarmMysteriousEngagedCandleRejoiceDispositionCurtainsPreyLecturesAll NightRebelliousWidowsFrugalBirds Of Prey Book:The Works of the Right Honourable Joseph Addison: With the Exception of His Numbers of the Spectator Source: The Works of the Right Honourable Joseph Addison: With the Exception of His Numbers of the Spectator

“Lady Bird was very, very shy and yet she would go out and speak publicly on behalf of her husband and on issues that mattered to her. Someone asked her once how she did it, and she said you have to "get so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid." And I have found that that absolutely captures those moments when I fought for something I cared about. I get so caught up in fighting for things that are important to me that it pushes me through fear and doubt.” ImportantMomentsFightingSpeakForgetDoubtHusbandBirdShyCaught Up Author:Wendy Davis
“The wonder is that so many OCDs manage to live productive lives, just the same.
