Quotations
Marriage
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.

Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage.
-Ambrose Bierce
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
My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.
