Famous quotes containing the words wives and children, wives and, wives and/or children:

    “Men especially need to communicate. To tell people years after the fact that they were the priority is the coward’s way. If men can muster the courage to fire an employee, tell off a boss, or assume financial risk, they can dig deep and say the three little words their wives and children need to hear.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

    “There will be a world of water shed
    Upon the parting of your wives and you.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “There is a close tie of affection between sovereigns and their subjects; and as chaste wives should have no eyes but for their husbands, so faithful liegemen should keep their regards at home and not look after foreign crowns. For my part I like not for my sheep to wear a stranger’s mark nor to dance after a foreigner’s whistle.”
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    “Everything our children hear, see, and feel is recorded onto a cassette. Guess who is the big star in their movie? You are. What you say and, more important, what you do, is recorded there for them to replay over and over again. We all have videocassettes. Adults just have larger libraries of tapes available.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)
