Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:

    “If a marriage is going to work well, it must be on a solid footing, namely money, and of that commodity it is the girl with the smallest dowry who, to my knowledge, consumes the most, to infuriate her husband. All the same, it is only fair that the marriage should pay for past pleasures, since it will scarcely procure any in the future.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “We can teach prevention. For little kids, the best protection is that they should not be alone in public places. All children should be conscious of strangers, and be discriminating and wary of them. This won’t make them grow up suspicious as long as they have adults around whom they know and can trust: relatives, friends of their parents, parents of friends.”
    —“How Parents Can Talk to Their Kids,” Newsweek (January 10, 1994)
