Famous quotes containing the word marry:
“We do not marry for ourselves, whatever we say; we marry just as much or more for our posterity, for our family. The practice and benefit of marriage concerns our race very far beyond us.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“I could marry him. Yes, he would marry me. Midgets are not strong, he could get sick.... It could be done, done.”
—Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)
“When I censured a gentleman of my acquaintance for marrying a second time, as it shewed a disregard of his first wife, he said, “Not at all, Sir. On the contrary, were he not to marry again, it might be concluded that his first wife had given him a disgust to marriage; but by taking a second wife he pays the highest compliment to the first, by shewing that she made him so happy as a married man, that he wishes to be so a second time.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
