“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
“I think of myself as a fairly decent human being and it gives me great pain to be considered for all the mean S.O.B.s that come along. I've played bird decapitators, puppy stranglers, woman beaters, wife poisoners, child molesters - every goddamn thing you can think of. It was quite scene there for a while. But I think the image is changing...I hope to God the old image is fading from people's minds.” PeopleThinkingGivingMindHumansMeanChildrenPainHuman BeingsWifeSceneBirdGive MeDecentPuppyFadingPoisoners Author:George C.
