Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong.

If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottage princes‘ palaces.

Politics doesn’t make strange bedfellows – marriage does.

Where there’s marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.

All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.

Acquaintances we meet, enjoy, and can easily leave behind; but friendship grows deep roots.
