Marriage

We cannot do without it, and yet we disgrace and vilify the same. It may be compared to a cage, the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair to get out.

- Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Best Quotes about Marriage

An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.

Goldsmith, Oliver

The lion and the calf will lay down together, but the calf won't get much sleep..

Allen, Woody

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

Proverb

Say what you will, making marriage work is a woman's business. The institution was invented to do her homage; it was contrived for her protection. Unless she accepts it as such --as a beautiful, bountiful, but quite unequal association --the going will be hard indeed.

Mcginley, Phyllis

10.

'Tis safest in matrimony to begin with a little aversion.

Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

11.

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

12.

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

Myers, Cecil

13.

A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn't want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband.

Cartland, Barbara

My wife isn't married to me forever; she's married to me for good. That keeps me on my toes.

Pancoast, Mal

All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest --never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.

Landers, Ann

In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again. We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring.

Bagnold, Enid

Hesiod

22.

After marriage, a woman's sight becomes so keen that she can see right through her husband without looking at him, and a man's so dull that he can look right through his wife without seeing her.

Rowland, Helen

23.

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.
