Quotations
Marriage
Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%. This is the speech I’ve prepared to tell my wife in the future, when I’m spending a majority minus one percent of my time with my clones.
-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
If you get bored with the person you married for love, there's something wrong with you - not with that person.
-Shahrukh Khan
You'll be happy if you'll remember that men don't change much. Women do. Women adapt themselves, and if you think that means they lose their individuality, you're wrong. Show me a happy marriage and I'll show you a clever woman.
-Elizabeth Cadell
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
If you both care for each other more than you care for yourself, your marriage will endure all.
-Lisa Tawn Bergren
The heart is like a woman and the head is like a man, and although man is the head of woman, woman is the heart of man, and she turns man's head because she turns his heart.
-Peter Kreeft
"Jesus-Shock"
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
-Oscar Wilde
It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession.
-Thomas Hardy
"Far from the Madding Crowd"
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love
