Quotations
Marriage
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
-Baal Shem Tov
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
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
When a girl marries, she exchanges the attention of many men for the inattention of one.
-Helen Rowland
Remember that children, marriages and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
A woman is not property and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
-Robert A. Heinlein
I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he COULD be wicked and WOULDN'T.
-L. M. Montgomery
"Anne of the Island"
Marriage is more about work than about divine luck, more about finding someone to love than about finding someone to meet your own laundry list of personal needs.
-Mark Gorman
