A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

Don't marry the person you think you can live with marry only the individual you think you can't live without.
