"Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner." ― Charles Caleb Colton Topic(s): Marriage More From Charles Caleb Colton "Times of great calamity and confusion have been productive for the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace. The brightest thunder-bolt is elicited from the darkest storm." "There are two way of establishing a reputation, one to be praised by honest people and the other to be accused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the first one, because it will always be accompanied by the latter." "Men’s arguments often prove nothing but their wishes."
