You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience
in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself,
"I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
― Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
Three fashion history illustrations of young Victorian ladies in fancy hats for winter; scanned from my copy of the January 6, 1872 issue of Harper's Bazar.

A quiet secluded life in the country,
with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good,

love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
