"Love in marriage should be the accomplishment..." - Quote by Alphonse Karr

“Avoid all haste; calmness is an essential ingredient of politeness.”

“Display is like shallow water, where you can see the muddy bottom.”

“Though we have two eyes, we are supplied with but one tongue. Draw your own moral.”

“Alas...I too have known love, that ruler of hearts, that soul of our soul: it's never brought me anything except one kiss and twenty kicks in the rump. How could such a beautiful cause produce such an abominable effect on you?”

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”

“If there be a love pure and free from the admixture of our other passions, it is that which lies hidden in the bottom of our heart, and which we know not ourselves.”

“When I want to end a relationship I just say, 'You know, I love you. I want to marry you. I want to have your children.' Sometimes they leave skid marks.”

“Marry an orphan: you'll never have to spend boring holidays with the in-laws.”

“Never go to bed angry, stay up and fight.”
