Life is like a game of chess, in which there are an infinite number of complex moves possible. The choice is open, but the move contains within itself all future moves. One is free to choose, but what follows is the result of one's choice. From the consequences of one's action there is never any escape.
-- Shelley Smith in The Ballad of the Running Man
| Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards. |
Benjamin Franklin |
| It takes relational courage to build success in my marriage, with my kids or with my friends. |
Bill Hybels |
| A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' come together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences. |
Dave Meurer |
| In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic, a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts, an enabler rather than a reformer. |
Gary J. Oliver |
| There is something so indescribably sweet and satisfying in the knowledge that a husband or wife has forgiven the other freely, and from the heart. |
Henrik Ibsen |
| I pay very little regard... to what a young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they haven't seen the right person yet. |
Jane Austen |
| If two people who love each other let a single instant wedge itself between them, it grows-it becomes a month, a year, a century; it becomes too late. |
Jean Giraudoux |
| Getting married for sex is like buying a 747 for the free peanuts. |
Jeff Foxworthy |
| There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. |
Martin Luther |
