Choices Quote by Helen Quist Milligan

“In choosing a mate, don't pick the tallest and most handsome or the most beautiful. Don't choose one just because that person raises your physical passions. Look for the person who is good from within, the one with substance and worth.” quote by Helen Quist Milligan
