that one or the other of the contend

Order is woman's and natures first

To stifle a good thought is mental
suicide.
Happiness is only a bundle in the
stream OF life.
Manners polish a man, but brains
complete the job
Other peoples troubles trouble us
more than our own.
The mind is the seal of intelligence,
the heart Of emotions.
Trying to stand on your dignity
may result in a hard fall
Woman is loved for what she is (;
man for what he may be.
Any coward can get married, but il
takes hero to stay married.
Love lasteth best when nourished
with consideration and respect

Love is disease that most girls
catch as often as they are exposed.
When a man is in love he generally
likes TO be mastered and dominated.
The trouble with most handsome
women-they think it's all they need.
