Quote by Amelia Barr
That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise

That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life. – Amelia Barr
