He will hold
thee, when his passion shall have spent its novel force,
something better than his dog, a little dearer than his
horse.
-- Lord Alfred Tennyson
1809-1892, British Poet
In America a
woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of
matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there
than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations.
For the former, her father's house is a home of freedom and
pleasure; for the latter, her husband's is almost a
cloister.
-- Alexis De Tocqueville
1805-1859, French Social
Philosopher
I told my wife
that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age.
The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

Every mother
generally hopes that her daughter will snag a better husband
than she managed to do... but she's certain that her boy
will never get as great a wife as his father did.
