Quotations
Marriage
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
-Henny Youngman
Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution.
-Mae West
"The 2,548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said"
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
-Sacha Guitry
A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time.
-Anne Taylor Fleming
There is nothing more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
-Homer
"The Odyssey"
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.
-Socrates
In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic; a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts; an enabler rather than a reformer.
-H. Norman Wright
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
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"
