"Whoever strikes at marriage either by word..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.”

“If the world does improve on the whole, yet youth must always begin anew, and go through the stages of culture from the beginning.”

“The heights charm us, but the steps do not; with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains.”

“It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.”

“My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee. Unfortunately, she was just coming home.”

“Firefly: Where is your husband? Mrs. Teasdale: Why, he's dead. Firefly: I'll bet he's just using that as an excuse. Mrs. Teasdale: I was with him to the very end. Firefly: Hmmph. No wonder he passed away. Mrs. Teasdale: I held him in my arms and kissed him. Firefly: Oh I see. Then, it was murder.”

“Under the one word "house" are included the schoolhouse, the almshouse, the jail, the tavern, the dwellinghouse; and the meanest shed or cave in which men live contains elements of all these. But nowhere on the earth stands the entire and perfect house.”

“A stranger is shot in the street, you hardly move to help. But if, half an hour before, you spent just ten minutes with the fellow and knew a little about him and his family, you might just jump in front of his killer and try to stop it. Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know is bad, or amoral, at least. You can’t act if you don’t know.”

“We have introduced a rule of law into many sections of our public life.”
