Domestic happiness is the end of almost all our pursuits, and the common reward of all our pains. When men find themselves forever barred from this delightful fruition, they are lost to all industry, and grow careless of all their worldly affairs. Thus they become bad subjects, bad relations, bad friends, and bad men.
Henry FieldingThere is nothing a Man of good Sense dreads so much in a Wife, as her having more Sense than himself.
Henry Fielding
