There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won't, and that's a wife who can't cook and will.

Only picture to yourself a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music.

As for his secret to staying married: "My wife tells me that if I ever decide to leave, she is coming with me."

Not to sink under being man and wife,But get some color and music out of life?

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.

Make sure you have your own life before becoming someone's wife.
