"A husband who submits to his wife's..." - Quote by Honore De Balzac

“Our worst misfortunes never happen, and most miseries lie in anticipation.”

“Some day you will find out that there is far more happiness in another's happiness than in your own.”

“At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist; there can only be promise of the coming woman.”

“I've learned that it doesn't matter how your husband squeezes the toothpaste, the important thing is how he squeezes you.”

“Man and wife were supposed to stay together because they'd made their vows in front of God and family.”

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds”

“I want friends, not admirers. People who respect me for my character and my deeds, not my flattering smile. The circle around me would be much smaller, but what does that matter, as long as they're sincere?”

“There comes a time in some relationships when no matter how sincere the attempt to reconcile the differences or how strong the wish to recreate a part of the past once shared, the struggle becomes so painful that nothing else is felt and the world and all its beauty only add to the discomfort by providing cruel contrast.”

“Only be admonished by what you already see, not to strike leagues of friendship with cheap persons, where no friendship can be. Our impatience betrays us into rash and foolish alliances which no God attends.”
