Well, I can't take credit for the quote, it belongs to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, an American professor, historian and author, who received a 1991 Pulitzer Prize in history for "A Midwife’s Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard based on her diary, 1785–1812."

As to items with the quote, I'm sitting here drinking coffee in a mug with the quote on it as I type... a gift from an online friend who saw it in a shop somewhere on her travels.
