--LORD ROCHESTER.
Let us no more contend, nor blame
Each other, blamed enough elsewhere, but strive
In offices of love, how we may lighten
Each other's burden, in our share of woe.
--MILTON.
The world well tried, the sweetest thing in life
Is the unclouded welcome of a wife.
--WILLIS.
A wife is a gift bestowed upon a man to reconcile him to the loss of
paradise.--GOETHE.
Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there.--ANDREW
JACKSON.
If you wish to ruin yourself, marry a rich wife.--MICHELET.
Marriage is the strictest tie of perpetual friendship, and there can
be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without
integrity; and he must expect to be wretched, who pays to beauty,
riches, or politeness that regard which only virtue and piety can
claim.--DR. JOHNSON.
When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live
till I were married.--SHAKESPEARE.
The good wife is none of our dainty dames, who love to appear in a
variety of suits every day new; as if a good gown, like a stratagem in
war, were to be used but once. But our good wife sets up a sail
according to the keel of her husband's estate; and if of high
parentage, she doth not so remember what she was by birth, that she
forgets what she is by match.--FULLER.
Of earthly goods the best, is a good wife.--SIMONIDES.
Take the daughter of a good mother.
