It is not necessary to be great to be happy; it is not necessary to be rich to be just and generous and to have a heart filled with divine affection. No matter whether you are rich or poor, treat your wife as though she were a splendid flower, and she will fill your life with perfume and with joy.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator

“The Liberty of Man, Woman, and Child” (1877)
