Don't be fretting...about me marrying. Marrying's a trouble and not marrying's a trouble and I sticks to the trouble I knows.

About This Quote

When Maud Martha Houghton was a little girl, she was described as an “old maid or spinster.” Now, there were tons of spinsters in the 19th century, but her name wasn’t one of them. She was an independent woman who didn’t need to get married to be happy. However, when she finally did get married she had no regrets. She knew that she made the right decision and never looked back on that day. This quote captures the wisdom of an old woman who only wanted to be happy and never worried about what others would think of her decisions.
