Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or norway:

    The parent who loves his child dearly but asks for nothing in return might qualify as a saint, but he will not qualify as a parent. For a child who can claim love without meeting any of the obligations of love will be a self-centered child and many such children have grown up in our time to become petulant lovers and sullen marriage partners because the promise of unconditional love has not been fulfilled.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    Such was the very armor he had on
    When he the ambitious Norway combated.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
