Famous quotes containing the words wife and/or mary:
“I believe no gentleman would like to have his family affairs neglected because his wife was filling her head with crotchets and pothooks, and who, because she understood a few scraps of Latin, valued that more than minding her needle or providing her husband’s dinner.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“If Mary came would Mary
Forgive, as Mothers may,
And sad and second Saviour
Furnish us today?”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
