God Took Quote by Michael O'Donnell
““If God meant woman to rule over man, He would have taken her out of Adam’s head. Had He designed her to be his slave, He would have taken her out of his feet. But God took woman out of man’s side, for He made her to be a helpmate and an equal to him. —Augustine””
