- Quotes by Jane Austen
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love to matrimony in a moment. Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. What is the difference in matrimonial affairs between the mercenary and the prudent motive? Lord, how ashamed I should be of not beings married before three and twenty! A family of ten children will always be called a fine family, where there are heads, and arms, and legs enough for that number”. - Quotes by Aristophanes
“A man, though he be grey-haired, can always get a wife. But a woman’s time is short”. - Quotes by Susan Brownell Anthony
“Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury,not a neccessity; an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life”.

“He who marrieth does well, but he who marrieth not, better. Marry in haste and repent at leisure; ’tis good to marry late or never”. - Quotes by Bronson Alcott

“Themistocles, the great Athenian general, being asked whether he would choose to marry his daughter to an indigent man of merit, or to a worthless man of an estate, replied that he would prefer a man without an estate with a man. A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes”.
