Married Civilly

Famous quotes containing the words married and/or civilly:

    Single mothers have as much to teach their children as married mothers and as much love to share—maybe more. Yet their motives are often labeled selfish and single-minded—never mind all the babies brought into the world to snag husbands, “save” faltering marriages or produce heirs.
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)

    To coxcombs averse, yet most civilly steering,
    When they judged without skill he was still hard of hearing:
    When they talked of their Raphaels, Corregios and stuff,
    He shifted his trumpet, and only took snuff.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
