Quotations
Marriage

-H. Norman Wright
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
-Benjamin Franklin
When a woman thinks her husband is a fool, her marriage is over. They may part in one year or ten; they may live together until death. But if she thinks he is a fool, she will not love him again.
