Quote

Marriage is the perfection of what love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought

Marriage is an adventure, like going to war

I have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying, and for this reason, I can never be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me

There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.

A man should be taller, older, heavier, uglier, and hoarser than his wife

A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of friendships, all the enjoyment of sense and reason - and indeed all the sweets of life.
