- Candice Bergen

Best Quotes about Marriage

Marriage is like a besieged castle; those who are on the outside wish to get in; and those who are on the inside wish to get out.

Proverb, Arabian

Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her. [Ephesians 5:25]

Bible

A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.

Ibsen, Henrik

Winters, Shelley

10.

Two such as you with such a master speed cannot be parted nor be swept away from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.

Frost, Robert

11.

Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden exchange meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another. Having little to divert attention, or diversify thought, they find themselves uneasy when they are apart, and therefore conclude that they shall be happy together. They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed; they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty.

Samuel Johnson

12.

God invented concubinage, Satan marriage.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

17.

Two souls and one thought, two hearts and one pulse.

Halen

18.

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.

Homer

19.

Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.

Landers, Ann

20.

Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.

Key, Ellen

Astor, Lady Nancy

29.

There is no observation more frequently made by such as employ themselves in surveying the conduct of mankind, than that marriage, though the dictate of nature, and the institution of Providence, is yet very often the cause of misery, and that those who enter into that state can seldom forbear to express their repentance, and their envy of those whom either chance or caution hath withheld from it.

Samuel Johnson

30.

Marrying is easy, it's housework that's hard.

Proverb

Successful marriage is always a triangle: a man, a woman, and God.

Myers, Cecil

Long engagements give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which is never advisable.

Wilde, Oscar

36.

I grew up in a very large family in a very small house. I never slept alone until after I was married.

Grizzard, Lewis

37.

If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter.

Fuller, Thomas

38.

Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.

Updike, John
