Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or descendants:

    Good marriages are made in heaven. Or some such place.
    Robert Bolt (1924–1995)

    Not only does democracy make every man forget his ancestors, but also clouds their view of their descendants and isolates them from their contemporaries. Each man is for ever thrown back on himself alone, and there is danger that he may be shut up in the solitude of his own heart.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
