Wives

Famous quotes containing the word wives:

—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)

“It is as acceptable now to love the wives of others as it is to smoke their cigars and read their books.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Oh yes, there is a vast difference between the savage and the civilized man, but it is never apparent to their wives until after breakfast.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
