Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or family:

    We lov’d, and we lov’d, as long as we could,
    Till our love was lov’d out in us both;
    But our marriage is dead, when the pleasure is fled:
    ‘Twas pleasure first made it an oath.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
