Quotes by Isabella MacDonald Alden (?)

“No occupation in this world is more trying to soul and body than the care of young children. What patience and wisdom, skill and unlimited love it calls for. God gave the work to mothers and furnished them for it, and they cannot shirk it and be guiltless.”
― Isabella Alden and Mrs. C. M. Livingston
