Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or offspring:

    “Some marriages depend on domestic arguments the way the courts depend on litigation.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “It is visible then that it was not any Heathen Religion or other Idolatrous Superstition, that first put Man upon crossing his Appetites and subduing his dearest Inclinations, but the skilful Management of wary Politicians; and the nearer we search into human Nature, the more we shall be convinced, that the Moral Virtues are the Political Offspring which Flattery begot upon Pride.”
    —Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)
