- Quotes by Robert Burns
“To make a happy fireside clime, To weans and wife, That’s the true pathos and sublime, Of human life. Ah, gentle dames’ it gars me greet, To think how mony counsels sweet, How mony lengthen’d, sage advices, The husband frae the wife despises!” - Quotes by Charlotte Bronte
“If there is one notion I hate more than another, it is that of marriage – I mean marriage in the vulgar, weak sense, as a mere matter of sentiment. Alfred and I intended to be married in this way almost from the first; we never meant to be spliced in the humdrum way of other people”. - Quotes by Josh Billings
“There’s no cure for laziness, but I ‘ve known a second wife to hurry it some”. - Quotes by Ambrose Bierce
“Marriage: the state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two. Wedding: a ceremony at which two persons undertake to become one, one undertakes to become nothing, and nothing undertakes to becomes supportable. A bad marriage is like an electrical thrilling machine: it makes you dance, but you can’t let go”. - Quotes by The Bibble
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleaveto his wife. And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband and be married to another, she committeth adultery. let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life”.

“What is the perfect way to happiness? To stay at home”. - Quotes by Sir Henry Max Beerbohm
“They were a tense and peculiar family, the Oedipuses, weren’t they?” - Quotes by Honore de Balzac
“No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman. The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutang trying to play the violin. Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it”. - Quotes by Francis Bacon
“He that hath wife and children, hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue of mischief. Certainly, wife and children are a kind of discipline of humanity, Wives are young men’s mistresses; companions for middle age; and old men’s nurses. The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears. Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes more bitter”.
