A man should be taller, older, heavier, uglier, and hoarser than his wife

Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success

The highest happiness on earth is marriage.

The sum which two married people owe to one another defies calculation. It is an infinite debt, which can only be discharged through all eternity.

Marriage is the perfection of what love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought

One of the good things that come of a true marriage is, that there is one face on which changes come without your seeing them; or rather there is one face face which you can still see the same, through all the shadows which years have gathered upon it.
