  Henry Ward Beecher

en We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. We make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. When one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. Why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? The woman is born from woman; there is none without her. Only the One True Lord is without woman
  Guru Nanak

"All men are ingrates," sneered the cynic. "Nay," The good philanthropist replied;
"I did great service to a man one day Who never since has cursed me to repay, Nor vilified."

"Ho!" cried the cynic, "lead me to him straight -- With veneration I am overcome, And fain would have his blessing." "Sad your fate -- He cannot bless you, for AI grieve to state This man is dumb." --Ariel Selp
