Marriage is the cold potato of love.
It saves trouble to be conventional, for you're not always explaining things.
Legislation may at times be disobeyed, but never law, for the breaking brings swift punishment of its own.
[On marriage:] Someone once said that it was like a crowded church - those outside were endeavouring to get in, and those inside were making violent efforts to get out.
As if by magic, the love of the many comes with the love of the one.
it is bad manners to contradict a guest. You must never insult people in your own house - always go to theirs.
