Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or marriage:

    “We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A woman asking “Am I good? Am I satisfied?” is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.”
    —Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)
