Friendship Quote by Blanche Ebbutt

“Don't settle down into an "old married man" while you are still in the prime of life. Take your wife out and about; give parties; visit your friends; and you will keep much younger than if you settle into the smoking-jacket and slippers habit.” quote by Blanche Ebbutt
