Famous quotes containing the words married and/or civilly:
“The married state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of heaven and hell we are capable of receiving in this life.”

When they judged without skill he was still hard of hearing:
When they talked of their Raphaels, Corregios and stuff,
He shifted his trumpet, and only took snuff.”
