Lift your eyes beyond your circumstances and learn instead to trust God. Worrying . . . won't change anything."
"Let truth be told - women do as a rule live through such humiliations, and regain their spirits, and again look about them with an interested eye. While there's life there's hope is a connviction not so entirely unknown to the "betrayed" as some amiable theorists would have us believe."
