Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman's involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home.

The public knows of these things only in fragments, but not as a coherent and practical agenda indeed the only practical course available.

David W. Orr

Always keep your home presentable, assuming you keep a home for purposes of presentation.

Robert Breault

Indeed, not all attacks-especially the bitter and ridiculing kind leveled at Darwin-are offered in good faith, but for practical purposes it is good policy to assume that they are.
