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.”

On our cisatlantic shore
For family after family name.
We’ll make it three hundred more”
