Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife Picture Quote #1

For I hold that it is only when we can prove all that we bring forward that we perfectly understand the thing under consideration. I know that the common herd takes little pleasure in these researches, but I know also that the common herd take little pains thoroughly to understand things Picture Quote #1
