Suitable Girl

Famous quotes containing the words suitable and/or girl:

    Those who have money go abroad in the world, but those who have no suitable clothes are reluctant to do so.
    Chinese proverb.

    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)
