William Married

Famous quotes containing the words william and/or married:

    Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon,
    If you listen to popular rumour;
    From morning to night he’s so joyous and bright,
    And he bubbles with wit and good humour!
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    If matrimony be really beneficial to society, the custom that ... married women alone are allowed any claim to place, is as useful a piece of policy as ever was invented.... The ridicule fixed on the appellation of old maid hath, I doubt not, frightened a very large number into the bonds of wedlock.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
