Quote by Joseph Addison
Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express. – Joseph Addison
