"Marriage is tolerable enough in its way..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“I ... must continue to strive for more knowledge and more power, though the new knowledge always contradicts the old and the new power is the destruction of the fools who misuse it.”

“Idiots are always in favour of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favour of equality.”

“Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.”

“Marriage is the perfection which love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought.”

“If we men married the women we deserved, we should have a very bad time of it.”

“A thrifty housewife is better than a great income. A good wife and health are a man's best wealth.”

“I am happier than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh. Mr. Darcy sends you all the love in the world, that he can spare from me.”

“Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.”

“If gratitude and esteem are good foundations of affection, Elizabeth's change of sentiment will be neither improbable nor faulty. But if otherwise--if regard springing from such sources is unreasonable or unnatural, in comparison of what is so often described as arising on a first interview with its object, and even before two words have been exchanged, nothing can be said in her defence, except that she had given somewhat of a trial to the latter method in her partiality for Wickham, and that its ill success might, perhaps, authorise her to seek the other less interesting mode of attachment.”
