"Oh, if you ever
marry, don't make the mistake of treating the woman as an ideal. Treat her in
every way as a human being exactly like yourself! With the same weakness, the
same struggles, the same temptations! And as you have some mercy on yourself
despite your faults, have some mercy on her despite hers."
- James Allen Lane's
(1849-1925) The Choir Invisible (New York: Macmillan,
1897).
May married men take
this to heart, as well as bachelors.
