Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:

    “For the marriage bed ordained by fate for men and women is stronger than an oath and guarded by Justice.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    “Life’s so short, Katie. You have to make every moment count. It’s not easy to do, you know. I don’t think that a day goes by when I don’t turn my back on some small thing or some issue somewhere. But it’s so short, Katie. If you’re not careful, the days go by and all you have time for is regret.”
    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
