Important Moments, Advertised Ones, Susan B. Anthony

"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved.

Our lives are measured by these." - Susan B. Anthony, The Ghost in My Life
