KNOWLES, James Sheridan Quotes
(1784-1862), Irish actor and dramatist
A castle after all is but a house—the dullest one when lacking company.
Save the love we pay to heaven, there is none purer, holier, than that a virtuous woman feels for him she would cleave to through life. Sisters part from sisters, brothers from brothers, children from their parents, but such a woman from the husband of her choice, never!
Mind is the brightness of the body,—lights it, when strength, its proper but less subtle fire, begins to fail.
Women do act their part when they do make their ordered houses know them.
