Famous quotes containing the word marriage:

    If a marriage is going to work well, it must be on a solid footing, namely money, and of that commodity it is the girl with the smallest dowry who, to my knowledge, consumes the most, to infuriate her husband. All the same, it is only fair that the marriage should pay for past pleasures, since it will scarcely procure any in the future.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Always the same old story—
    Father Time and Mother Earth,
    A marriage on the rocks.
    James Merrill (b. 1926)
