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%.

-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.
