As far as I can reckon, a woman can stand absolutely anything under God's heaven that she knows; but she just up and can't stand the littlest, teeniest, no-account sort of thing that she ain't sure of. Answers may kill 'em dead enough, but it's questions that eats 'em alive. Eleanor Hallowell Abbott
About This Quote

A woman who can stand anything is one who can withstand all trials with the confidence of her own innate strength. An inspired woman is one who has the courage to ask questions, whether these questions are answered or not. She knows that she will learn all that she needs to know in the long run.
