John Angell James-Female Piety

Christianity inspires the purest chivalry;
a chivalry shorn of vanity,
purified from passion,
elevated above frivolity;
a chivalry of which the animating principle is love to God,
and the scene of it's operation the domestic circle,
and not the public pageant.

~ John Angell James
