Quotations On Engagement |
An engaged woman
is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied
with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may
exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe
with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.
-- Jane Austen
1775-1817, British Novelist |
I am about to be
married, and am of course in all the misery of a man in pursuit
of happiness.
-- Lord Byron
1788-1824, British Poet |
Can you support
the expense of a husband, hussy, in gaming, drinking and
whoring? Have you money enough to carry on the daily quarrels of
man and wife about who shall squander most?
-- John Gay
1688-1732, British Playwright,
Poet |

No sooner met but
they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved
but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the
reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;
and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to
marriage, which they will climb incontinent, or else be
incontinent before marriage.
-- William Shakespeare
1564-1616, British Poet,
Playwright, Actor |
Pardon me, you are
not engaged to any one. When you do become engaged to some one,
I, or your father, should his health permit him, will inform you
of the fact. An engagement should come on a young girl as a
surprise, pleasant or unpleasant, as the case may be. It is
hardly a matter that she could be allowed to arrange for
herself.
-- Oscar Wilde
1856-1900, British Author, Wit |
