William Lyon Phelps Quote

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance

It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should refuse an offer of marriage

Wedding: A ceremony at which two persons undertake to become one, one undertakes to become nothing, and nothing undertakes to become supportable.

To get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry

All our discontents about what we want appeared to me to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.
