Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or children:
“Good marriages are made in heaven. Or some such place.”
—Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
