Mar

Famous quotes containing the word mar:

“The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty....

—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)

“Marriage is distinctly and repeatedly excluded from heaven. Is this because it is thought likely to mar the general felicity?”

“Striving to better, oft we mar what’s well.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
