The truth is despite the hard work and juggling required to keep the different facets of the frantic life afloat, the "superwoman"... has one marvelous compensation.

Dear to us are those who love us, the swift moments we spend with them are a compensation for a great deal of misery; they enlarge... our life;Mbut dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life: they build a heaven before us, whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Senators and presidents have climbed so high with pain enough, not because they think the place specially agreeable, but as an apo...logy for real worth, and to vindicate their manhood in our eyes.
