Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:
“Every relationship that does not raise us up pulls us down, and vice versa; this is why men usually sink down somewhat when they take wives while women are usually somewhat raised up. Overly spiritual men require marriage every bit as much as they resist it as bitter medicine.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things belong to us and to our children forever, to observe all the words of this law.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 29:29.
