Love doesn't make the world go round. Loves is what makes the ride worthwhile. Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction. May you always look out with love at love. Often the difference between a successful marriage and a mediocre one consists pf leaving about three or four things a day unsaid.
Marriage is a lottery in which men stake their liberty and women their happiness.
My most brilliant achievement was my ability to persuade my wife to marry me. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. For the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and cyprus grow not in each other's shadow. May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane.
