- Quotes by John Keble
“Sweet is the smile of home; the mutual look, When hearts are of each other sure. The voice that breathed o’er Eden, That earliest wedding day”. - Quotes by John Keats
“The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness…The opinion I have of the generality of women – who appear to me as children to whom I would rather give a sugar plum than my time, from a barrier against matrimony which I rejoice in”. - Quotes by Carl Gustav
“Seldom, or perhaps never, does a marriage develop into an individual relationship smoothly and without crises; there is no coming to consciousness without pain”. - Quotes by Erica Jong
“Bigamy is having one husband too many. Monogamy is the same”. - Quotes by DrSamuel Johnson
“I am sometimes disposed to think with the severer casuists of most nations that marriage is rather permitted than approved, and that none, but by the instigation of a passion too much indulged, entangle themselves with indissoluble compacts. Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures. A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table than when his wife talks Greek. With secret course, which no loud storms annoy, Glides the smooth current of domestic joy”. - Quotes by Thomas Jefferson
“A lively and lasting sense of filial duty is more effectually impressed on the mind of a son or daughter by reading King Lear, than by all the dry volumes of ethics and divinity that ever were written. The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family. The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since it is that which is the lot of the mass of mankind”.
