Abby May Alcott Quotes, Pride Quotes, Silence Quotes

On some it galls and chafes; they feel assured by every instinct of their nature that they were designed for a higher, nobler calling than to 'drag life's lengthening chain along.

Issues of pride and judgment and gossip and slander and other types of sexual immorality, gluttony, you name it.
