Famous quotes containing the words wife and/or children:
“You can’t stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat.”
—Mike Tyson (b. 1966)
“I trust the time is coming, when the occupation of an instructer [sic] to children will be deemed the most honorable of human employment. If it is a drudgery to teach these little ones, then it is the duty of men to bear a part of that burthen; if it is a privilege and an honor, then we generously invite them to share that honor and privilege with us.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
