Mulling on this today in regards to myself, specifically as a Christian, wife, and mother. Miss Mason was talking about some other things in context, but this particularly touched me. Noticed she isn’t measured by her outward accomplishments, but by her inner life. I love that.
The woman who has herself well in hand, who thinks her own thoughts, reserves her judgments, considers her speech, controls her actions – she is the woman who succeeds in life, with a success to be measured by her powers of heart, brain, and soul.

Ooh! I love this. So often in today’s world the loud, demanding, disrespectful women are hailed as the “strong independent” women. And while there is a time to be heard, there’s also a respectful way to approach it. I love this quote now. ❤

This is such a striking list of qualities — going into my commonplace, maybe on the front page! Thank you for sharing!

I’ll have to put that one in my commonplace too! Katie’s comment is so true, as are your words about not being measured by outward accomplishments.
