When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of
               a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven,     
               and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.     

                                                    Akhenaton (c. B.C. 1375)

For the love of the Lord God, give us a pair of slave women as
alms, because we are spending the pittance we have entirely on hired
girls.
        --An abbess to the queen of Portugal, 1500s

Humanity is divided into two: the masters and the slaves.
        
             --Aristotle

As falls Wichita, so falls Wichita Falls.
  
               --Pat Metheny

Life is a great bundle of little things.
