Character Quote by John Acquaviva

The higher her virtue, the more her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen””
