Patrimony is the collection of possessions; matrimony is the collection of losses!!!

A woman needs a stronger head than her own for counsel--she should marry. [Sp., Una muger no tiene. Valor para el consejo, y la conviene Casarse.]

Oh! how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring.

My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.

Man and wife, Coupled together for the sake of strife.

We've been together now for forty years, An' it don't seem a day too much; There ain't a lady livin' in the land As I'd swop for my dear old Dutch.
