Some women are born to be married, some achieve marriage, and others have marriage thrust upon them.

One of the most interesting things in the world to me is the vast difference between what people say they are going to do, and what they actually do.

it is bad manners to contradict a guest. You must never insult people in your own house - always go to theirs.

marriage is a great strain upon love.

I experienced the discomfort of those who have moved mentally, but are still clamped, physically, to the places they have moved from.

Five golden years, Heart of Mine, have we walked the way of life together, and there is not an hour I would have changed; there is no moment when I would have you other than you have been. It is the fashion these days, I know, to say that love ends at the altar, but it is not so. You and I have found the old dream of the world divinely true. It is neither a poet's fancy nor a trick of the imagination, but a thing of fadeless and unending beauty.

If there's anythin' on earth that can be more tryin' than any kind of relative, I don't know what it is, but relatives by marriage comes first - easy.
