If a woman stands behind you, respect her; if she stands beside you, cherish her; if she stands with you, adore her.

If a woman laughs when you hurt her, you ought to cry, for you have lost her; if she cries, you may laugh, for you have a worthy soulmate.

The poorest man you can marry is not the one who lacks money, but the one who lacks character.

A virtuous spouse adds years to your life, a wise one adds decades, but a loving one adds an eternity to your life.

Don’t resent a woman for who she is not; love her for who she is.

The greatest love stories are not written by the ink of the pen, but by the ink of the heart.

Though love may be blind, it sees much;though it may be deaf, it hears much;though it may be mute, it says much;and though it may be lame, it does much.

True love is like diamonds; scarce, and priceless.

Marry the one who laughs when you laugh, and you are clever; marry the one who cries when you cry, and you are intelligent, but marry the one who does both with you, and you are wise.
