“Beat your wife on the wedding day, and your married life will be happy”
“Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance”
“From happiness to suffering is a step; from suffering to happiness is an eternity.”
“Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy”
“Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys”
“The most happy marriage I can imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.”
