“My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.”

“It was the period of my mental progress which I have now reached that I formed the friendship which has been the honour and chief blessing of my existence, as well as the source of a great part of all that I have attempted to do, or hope to effect hereafter, for human improvement. My first introduction to the lady who, after a friendship of twenty years, consented to become my wife, was in 1830, when I was in my twenty-fifth and she in her twenty-third year.”

“The first twenty years of my life were wasted…I didn't fit my environment, and I didn't know any other.”

“If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.”

“This is portrayed after my wife when she was 21 years old, the third day after we were betrothed, on the 8th of June 1633”

“We had a happy marriage because we were together all the time. We were friends as well as husband and wife. We just had a good time.”

“Many in my family were ambivalent about it, but my mother encouraged me to put aside my fears. Vera (my wife) and I finally decided to leave Utah, where we were very happy, take a 40 per cent salary cut and move to the Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge.”

“My wife, my child, my music, Nature and the sun; they are my happiness.”

“I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.”

“It's not my dreams that get me in trouble, it's the things my wife dreams I did… My wife punched me in the middle of the night; I woke up, I was like "Oww! What was that for?" She said "I dreamt you were making out with Faith Hill." I said "I wasn't dreaming anything! Send her over to my dream, we'll both be happy."”
