I hope you like these quotes about Halloween from the collection at Life Quotes and Sayings.
Most of us seldom let the outrageous
part of ourselves out to play.
Notice that I didn't say "never," I said "seldom."

more than half the houses wear an acknowledgement of Halloween -
and nothing about Halloween is NOT outrageous.

in every pursuit or avocation,
to secure an adviser in a sensible woman.

and a plain soundness of judgement,
which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man.
A woman, if she be really your friend,
will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor, repute.
She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing:
for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.

responsible for what I see, say, feel and exert.
