And fires us
With courage, love and joy.
Women and wine should life employ.
Is there ought else on earth desirous?

You know, my Dear, I never meddle in matters of Death; I always leave those Affairs to you. Women indeed are bitter bad Judges in these cases, for they are so partial to the Brave that they think every Man handsome who is going to the Camp or the Gallows.
John Gay
Quote of the day
Give us that grand word 'woman' once again, And let's have done with 'lady'; one's a term Full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, Fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; And one's a word for lackeys.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
