Quotes by Elizabeth Cadell  (?)

“You'll be happy if you'll remember that men don't change much. Women do. Women adapt themselves, and if you think that means they lose their individuality, you're wrong. Show me a happy marriage and I'll show you a clever woman.”
Elizabeth Cadell

“I can't help feeling that people ask too much [of life]. They don't keep up with the Joneses any more--they outstrip them. What people call happiness, today, isn't happiness. It's enjoyment. It's pleasure. And between happiness and pleasure there's a very large gap.”
Elizabeth Cadell, Out of the Rain

“How can any child grope its way through life if its parents or guardians tear up all the pages of the past?”
Elizabeth Cadell, The Fledgling
