Famous quotes containing the words gentlemen and/or marry:
“This quiet Dust was Gentlemen and Ladies,
And Lads and Girls;”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“When I censured a gentleman of my acquaintance for marrying a second time, as it shewed a disregard of his first wife, he said, “Not at all, Sir. On the contrary, were he not to marry again, it might be concluded that his first wife had given him a disgust to marriage; but by taking a second wife he pays the highest compliment to the first, by shewing that she made him so happy as a married man, that he wishes to be so a second time.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
