Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.: Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
The cowards never start and the weak die along the way.: Kit Carson
Men can do nothing without the make-believe of a beginning. Even Science, the strict measurer, is obliged to start with a make-believe unit, and must fix on a point in the stars' unceasing journey when his sidereal clock shall pretend that time is Nought. His less accurate grandmother Poetry has always been understood to start in the middle; but on reflection it appears that her proceeding is not very different from his; since Science, too, reckons backward as well as forward, divides his unit into billions, and with his clock-finger at Nought really sets off _in medias res_. No retrospect will take us to the true beginning; and whether our prologue be in heaven or on earth, it is but a fraction of that all-presupposing fact with which our story sets out.: George Eliot (1819 - 1880), from "Daniel Deronda"
Marriage is based on the theory that when man discovers a brand of beer exactly to his taste he should at once throw up his job and go work in the brewery.: George Jean Nathan (1882 - 1958)
Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.: Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
A priest asked: What is Fate, Master? And he answered: It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence. It is that which men in former times had to bear upon their backs. It is that which has caused nations to build byways from City to City upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come to be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness. And that is Fate? said the priest. Fate ... I thought you said Freight, responded the Master. That's all right, said the priest. I wanted to know what Freight was too.: Kehlog Albran, "The Profit"
There is so little difference between husbands you might as well keep the first.: Adela Rogers St. Johns
Mahatma Gandi was what wives wish their husbands were: thin, tan and moral.: Unknown
A husband is what's left of the lover once the nerve has been extracted.: Helen Rowland (1876 - 1950)
