Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or marriage:

    “When civil fury first grew high,
    And men fell out, they knew not why;
    When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
    Set folks together by the ears,
    And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
    For Dame Religion, as for punk;”
    —Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    “Where there’s marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.”
