Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or family:

    Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    It is as when a migrating army of mice girdles a forest of pines. The chopper fells trees from the same motive that the mouse gnaws them,—to get his living. You tell me that he has a more interesting family than the mouse. That is as it happens.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
