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%. 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"
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: Routine.
-Honoré De Balzac
The heart is like a woman and the head is like a man, and although man is the head of woman, woman is the heart of man, and she turns man's head because she turns his heart.
-Peter Kreeft
"Jesus-Shock"
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
-Benjamin Franklin
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
There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.
-Henry David Thoreau
A man in love is incomplete until he is married. Then he's finished.
