Dorothy Dix

Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence.

I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us.

The reason that husbands and wives do not understand each other is because they belong to different sexes.

I have learned in the great University of Hard Knocks a philosophy that no woman who has had an easy life ever acquires. I have learned to live each day as it comes and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us.

It is only the women whose eyes have been washed clear with tears who get the broad vision that makes them little sisters to all the world.

Nobody wants to kiss when they are hungry.
