"Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words."

Dorothy Parker

600,000 girls go missing in India every year- aborted before they are born; killed at childbirth; abandoned in infancy, allowed to die of mal-nourishment or lack of timely medical care.

As a part of A-Z Challenge, the blog will host a photograph of a woman who survived, along with a quote by a famous (or not so famous) woman. 

Luckily, this is not difficult.

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult. ~Charlotte Whitton

Money will buy....

"Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail."

~ Josh Billings

... his ugly feet

"People are crying up the rich and variegated plumage of the peacock, 
and he is himself blushing at the sight of his ugly feet."
~Sa'Di

.. the morning dew...

"Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been."

~ Samuel Daniel

... the fruit laden tree...

It is only the fruit-laden tree that receives the shower of stones from passersby. 

... the only bee....

"Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers."
Robert Green Ingersoll

... we love to love

"Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. 

We don't love to be loved; we love to love."

~ Leo Buscaglia
