I am not ready for supreme power. - Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg It is not easy to surround life with any circumstances in which youth will not be delightful; and I am afraid that, whether married or unmarried, we shall find the vesture of terrestrial existence more heavy and cumbrous the longer it is worn. - Sir Richard Steele Displaying page 6 of 7 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 [6] 7
