Inspirational Speech...

A newly wed girl was being welcomed at the husband's home in a traditional manner.

She was asked to give a little speech. She addressed her new family as follows:

"My dear family members, I thank you for welcoming me into my new home and family," she said.

"Firstly, with my presence I would not want to create any inconveniences. By that, I mean that I don't want you all to change your way of life, or your routine."

"What do you mean my child?" asked the patriarch of the family.

"What I mean dad is:

"Those who used to wash dishes must carry on washing them.

"Those who used to do the laundry must carry on doing it.

"Those who cooked shouldn't stop on my account.

"Those who used to clean should go ahead and clean.

"And please don't mind me, I am here just to live with your son!"

Eternal Truth

"Well," said Charlotte, "I wish Jane success with all my heart; and if she were married to him to-morrow, I should think she had as good a chance of happiness as if she were to be studying his character for a telve-month. Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other, or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation, and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life."

"You make me laugh Charlotte; but it is not sound. You know it is not sound, and that you would never act in this way yourself."

- Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice)
