“I could combine being a good mother with being an effective professional woman, as long as I organized everything intelligently down to the last detail. We have become a grandmother”. - Quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
“This I set down as a positive truth. A woman with fair opportunities and without an absolute hump, may marry whom she likes. Remember, it’s as easy to marry whom she likes. Remember, it’s as easy to marry a rich woman as a poor woman”. - Quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
“A happy bridesmaid makes a happy bride. Don’t thou marry for munny, but go wheer munny is!” - Quotes by Jeremy Taylor
“He that loves not his wife and children, feeds a lioness at home and broods a nest of sorrows”. - Quotes by Jonathan Swift
“The reason why so few marriagesare happy, is, because young ladies spend their time in making nets, not in making cages”.
- Quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
“Even if we take matrimony at its lowest, even if we regard it as no more than a sort of friendship recognized by the police. Lastly (and this is, perhaps, the golden rule), no woman should marry a teetotaller, or a man who does not smoke. Marriage is like life in this – that it is a field of battle, and not a bed of roses. Marriage is a step so grave and decisive that it attracts light-headed, variable men by its very awfulness. In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being. Times are changed with him who marries; there are no more bypath meadows, where you may innocently linger, but the road lies long and straight and dusty to the grave. To marry is to domesticate the Recording Angel. Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide, but to be good”.
