Gertrude Atherton Quotes
Did any great genius ever enter the world in the wake of commonplace pre-natal conditions? Was a maker of history ever born amidst the pleasant harmonies of a satisfied domesticity?

The students of history know that while many mothers of great men have been virtuous, none have been commonplace, and few have been happy.
