You can't appreciate home till you've left it, money till it's spent, your wife until she's joined a woman's club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on a shanty of a consul in a foreign town.
~ O. Henry (1862-1919)
If there must be trouble, let it be in my day that my child might have peace.
~Thomas Paine 1780
