Quotations
Marriage
There's no more usual basis of union than mutual misunderstanding.
-Henry James
"The Portrait of a Lady"
A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong.
-Milton Berle
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"
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
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
Women leave their marriages when they can't take any more. Men leave when they find someone new.
-J. Courtney Sullivan
"Commencement"
There is a French saying; Love is the dawn of marriage and marriage is the sunset of love.
-De Finod
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.
-Philippa Gregory
"The Other Queen"
