Sarah Grimke
At sixty I look back on a life of deep disappointments, of withered hopes, of unlooked for suffering, of severe discipline.
Grimke quotes
Oh, had I received the education I desired, had I been bred to the profession of the law, I might have been a useful member of society, and instead of myself and my property being taken care of, I might have been a protector of the helpless, a pleader for the poor and unfortunate.
