- Quotes by Alexander Pope
“Go, like the Indian, in another life, Expect thy dog, thy bottle, and thy wife. Chaste to her husband, frank to all beside, A teeming mistress, but a barren bride. She who ne’er answers till a husband cools, Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules; Charms by accepting, by submitting sways, Yet has her humour most when she obeys. Not louder shrieks to pitying heaven are cast, When husbands or when lapdogs breathe their last”. - Quotes by Samuel Pepys
“My wife, who, poor wretch, is troubled with her lonely life. Saw a wedding in the church; and strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition. Home, and, being washing day, dined upon cold meat”. - Quotes by John Howard Payne
“Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home”. - Quotes by George Orwell
“[On England] It resembles a family, a rather stuffy Victorian familywith not many black sheep in it but with all its cupboards bursting with skeletons. It has rich relations who have to be kow-towed to and poor relations who are horribly sat upon, and there is a deep conspiracy about the source of the family income. It is family in which the young are generally thwarted and most of the power is in the hands of irresponsible uncles and bedridden aunts. Still, it is a family”.
- Quotes by Cardinal John Henry Newman
“Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home”. - Quotes by Ogden Nash
“I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers”. - Quotes by Napoleon l
“It is horrible to see oneself die without children”. - Quotes by Ralph Nader
“Young wives are the leading asset of corporate power. They want the suburbs, a house, a settled life. And respectability. They want society to see they have exchanged themselves for something of value”.
