Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or children:

    You can no more keep a martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there. The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth, and one of the shortest-lived.
    Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)

    A grandchild is a miracle, but a renewed relationship with your own children is even a greater one.
    T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
