Famous quotes containing the word marriages:

    Those Marriages generally abound most with Love and Constancy, that are preceded by a long Courtship.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

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

    If marriages were made by putting all the men’s names into one sack and the women’s names into another, and having them taken out by a blindfolded child like lottery numbers, there would be just as high a percentage of happy marriages as we have here in England.... If you can tell me of any trustworthy method of selecting a wife, I shall be happy to make use of it.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
