Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:

    Thrift, thrift, Horatio, the funeral baked meats
    Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Unconditional love is loving your kids for who they are, not for what they do.... I don’t mean that we like or accept inappropriate behavior, but with unconditional love we love the children even at those times when we dislike their behavior. Unconditional love isn’t something you will achieve every minute of every day. But it is the thought we must hold in our hearts every day.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)
