Marriage, n: the state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making in all, two.

A man's love, till it has been chastened and fastened by the feeling of duty which marriage brings with it, is instigated mainly by the difficulty of pursuit.

Marriage is a team effort. Both of us share that philosophy.

If we repealed all the laws of the world marriage would still exist.

The love of heaven makes one heavenly.

But love, like the sun that it is, sets afire and melts everything. what greed and privilege to build up over whole centuries the indignation of a pious spirit, with its natural following of oppressed souls, will cast down with a single shove.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.
