Marriage
Albert Einstein
Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
A person of genius should marry a person of character. Genius does not herd with genius.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to. J. R. R.
John Updike
The first breath of adultery is the freest; after it, constraints aping marriage appear.
Groucho Marx
[ Rufus T. Firefly, played by Groucho Marx, speaking :] Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first.
Helen Rowland
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
Henny Youngman
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
Sócrates
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 .
P. G. Wodehouse
And she's got brains enough for two, which is the exact quantity the girl who marries you will need.
Groucho Marx
Some people claim that marriage interferes with romance. There's no doubt about it. Anytime you have a romance, your wife is bound to interfere.
Winston Churchill
My wife and I tried to breakfast together, but we had to stop or our marriage would have been wrecked.
Helen Rowland
Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won't even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.
W. Somerset Maugham
Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.
Helen Rowland
Marriage is the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's egotism are extracted without an anesthetic.
Jane Austen
It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should refuse an offer of marriage.
