There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.-- Washington Irving (1783-1859) American Writer
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary, man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
