Martha Washington: Happiness or misery

The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.

Martha Washington

Martha Washington (née Dandridge; June 13 [O.S. June 2] 1731– May 22, 1802) was the wife of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Although the title was not coined until after her death, Martha Washington is considered to be the first First Lady of the United States. During her lifetime she was often referred to as "Lady Washington".
