Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.

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

Many brief follies-that is what you call love. And your marriage puts an end to many brief follies, with a single long stupidity.

The best friend will probably acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is founded on the talent for friendship.

Love, friendship, laughter... some of the best things in life really are free.

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.
