Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or children:

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

    All who wish to hand down to their children that happy republican system bequeathed to them by their revolutionary fathers, must now take their stand against this consolidating, corrupting money power, and put it down, or their children will become hewers of wood and drawers of water to this aristocratic ragocracy.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
