MARGARET OLIPHANT Scottish writer (1828 - 1897) All perfection is melancholy.       - [Perfection] It is often easier to justify one's self to others than to respond to the secret doubts that arise in one's own bosom.       - [Conscience] The ideal is the flower-garden of the mind, and very apt to run to weeds unless carefully tended.       - [Ideality] Truly there is nothing in the world so blessed or so sweet as the heritage of children.       - [Children] What happiness is there which is not purchased with more or less of pain?       - [Happiness] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
