We, my dear Mildred, are the observers of life. Let other people get married by all means, the more the merrier.. .. Let Dora marry if she likes. She hasn't your talent for observation.

About This Quote

As an economist, I think it is in our best interest to make sure that the people in our lives are in perfect health. Having a sick or dying family member is not something anyone should ever have to face. I do not want to know what life is like when you are in the midst of a serious illness. If your family is in good health, then you can still enjoy all that life has to offer.
