May you find comfort and joy in these encouraging quotes about Halloween.
Most of us seldom let the outrageous
part of ourselves out to play.
Notice that I didn't say "never," I said "seldom."

in every pursuit or avocation,
to secure an adviser in a sensible woman.

She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing:
for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.
