Marriage

If you wish to marry suitably, marry your equal.

- Ovid

Best Quotes about Marriage

Be to their virtue very kind; be to their faults a little blind.

Prior, Matthew

I have wedded her, not bedded her; and sworn to make the'not'eternal.

William Shakespeare

The horror of wedlock, the most appalling, the most loathsome of all the bonds humankind has devised for its own discomfort and degradation.

Sade, Marquis De

Though I want a kingdom, yet in marriage I may not prove inferior to yourself.

William Shakespeare

A little weeping, a little wheedling, a little self-degradation, a little careful use of our advantages, and then some man will say .Come, be my wife! With good looks and youth marriage is easy to attain. There are men enough; but a woman who has sold herself, even for a ring and a new name, need hold her skirt aside for no creature in the street. They both earn their bread in one way. Marriage for love is the most beautiful external symbol of the union of souls; marriage without it is the least clean traffic that defiles the world.

Schreiner, Olive

To many women marriage is only this. It is merely a physical change impinging on their ordinary nature, leaving their mentality untouched, their self-possession intact. They are not burnt by even the red fire of physical passion - far less by the white fire of love.

Webb, Mary

To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup, whenever you're wrong, admit it; whenever you're right, shut up.

Nash, Ogden

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Marriage was all a woman's idea and for man's acceptance of the pretty yoke, it becomes us to be grateful.

Mcginley, Phyllis

10.

You'll repent if you marry, and repent if you don't.

Proverb

11.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. [Genesis 2:24]

Bible

12.

Quarrels are the dowry which married folk bring one another.

Ovid

13.

I never knew what real happiness was until I got married and by then it was too late.

Kauffman, Max

14.

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

15.

I have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying, and for this reason, I can never be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me.

Lincoln, Abraham

16.

Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet.

Mae West

17.

Saw a wedding in the church. It was strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition.

Pepys, Samuel

18.

Polygamy is an endeavor to get more out of life than there is in it.

Hubbard, Elbert

19.

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make -- not just on your wedding day, but over and over again -- and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.

Angelis, Barbara De

20.

A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

21.

The mere idea of marriage, as a strong possibility, if not always nowadays a reasonable likelihood, existing to weaken the will by distracting its straight aim in the life of practically every young girl, is the simple secret of their confessed inferiority in men's pursuits and professions to-day.

Bolitho, William

22.

It takes two to make a marriage a success and only one to make it a failure.

Samuel, Herbert

23.

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

24.

I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.

Victoria, Queen

25.

Marriage is like a violin. After the music is over, you still have the strings.

26.

Marriage always demands the greatest understanding of the art of insincerity possible between two human beings.

Baum, Vicki

27.

To be sure a stepmother to a girl is a different thing to a second wife to a man!

Gaskell, Elizabeth

28.

The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength --each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving. It is even more deceptive to dream of gaining through the child a plenitude, a warmth, a value, which one is unable to create for oneself; the child brings joy only to the woman who is capable of disinterestedly desiring the happiness of another, to one who without being wrapped up in self seeks to transcend her own existence.

Beauvoir, Simone De

29.

Before marriage a man yearns for a woman. Afterward the y is silent.

Clarke, W. A.

30.

He who marries for money earns it.

Proverb, Yiddish

31.

Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.

Duncan, Isadora

32.

By all means marry. If you get a good wife you will become happy, and if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher.

Socrates

33.

It doesn't much signify whom one marries, for one is sure to find out the next morning that it was someone else.

Rogers, Will

34.

Marriage is like wine. It is not properly judged until the second glass.

Jerrold, Douglas William

35.

One man's folly is another man's wife.

Helen Rowland

36.

Love and marriage, love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. Dad was told by mother. You can't have one without the other.

Cahn, Sammy

37.

The dread of loneliness is greater than the fear of bondage, so we get married.

Connolly, Cyril

38.

So that ends my first experience of matrimony, which I always thought a highly over-rated performance.

Duncan, Isadora

39.

When the blind lead the blind, no wonder they both fall into -- matrimony.

Farquhar, George

40.

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

Fuller, Thomas

41.

Whenever a husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are giving evidence at a coroner's inquest.

Mencken, H. L.

42.

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. [Matthew 22:30]

Bible

43.

The only thing that holds a marriage together is the husband being big enough to keep his mouth shut, to step back and see where his wife is wrong.

Bunker, Archie

44.

Marital Freedom: The liberty that allows a husband to do exactly that which his wife pleases.

45.

God invented concubinage, Satan marriage.

Picabia, Francis

46.

Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain.

Euripides

47.

The ancient saying is no heresy, hanging and wiving goes by destiny.

William Shakespeare

48.

The concerts you enjoy together neighbors you annoy together children you destroy together that make marriage a joy

Sondheim, Stephen

49.

Never marry a man who hates his mother, because he'll end up hating you.

Bennett, Jill

50.

There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It's called marriage.

Mcgannon, Donald H.
