“There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child”

“The surest way to hit a woman's heart is to take aim kneeling.”

“There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage”

“There is only one happiness in life: to love and to be loved”

“Love's like the measles - all the worse when it comes late in life.”

“If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee”
