The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife. (Francis de Sales)
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends. View quote
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar
I'm sure nobody wants to know this, but my husband does all the cleaning - rather too much cleaning. It is too clean, the house! View quote
Harriet Harman
All that a husband or wife really wants is to be pitied a little, praised a little, and appreciated a little. View quote
Oliver Goldsmith
One was kind, out of a bounty that could hardly be exhausted, to old governesses and gardeners, who could be relied upon to give thanks with proper abjection; one performed public duties, for which one was paid in full by deference; one was chaste, refusing to run away from one's husband with other men who for the most part did not ask one to do so, and who in any case had nothing better to offer than one's own home. Knowing no difficulties one was without fortitude; knowing no criteria but one's own achievements one was without taste. View quote

Imelda Marcos
Sexism in politics is nothing new when you're standing for election. But don't stand for election and it's almost as bad. Shockingly, David Cameron thought it acceptable to claim this week that my decision not to run for the Labour leadership was because my husband, Ed Balls, "stopped [me] from standing." View quote
Yvette Cooper
That dangerous but too commonly received notion, that a reformed rake makes the best husband. View quote
Samuel Richardson
The purpose of my life is being a father to my kids and being a husband to my wife. View quote
Terrence Howard
I created the Women's Federation for World Peace in order to restore all that woman originally lost. You American women don't need a man in the position of grandfather, parents, husband, elder or younger brother. You only need the true Adam. (Sun Myung Moon)
If you learn life's lessons, you will do well. If not, life will just continue to push you around. People do two things. Some just let life push them around. Others get angry and push back. But they push back against their boss, or their job, or their husband or wife. They do not know it's life that's pushing. View quote
Robert Kiyosaki
The girl can look forward to little else than the chance of having a good man for her husband; - a good man, or if her tastes lie in that direction, a rich man. View quote
Anthony Trollope
A woman's life is not perfect or whole till she has added herself to a husband. Nor is a man's life perfect or whole till he has added to himself a wife. View quote
Anthony Trollope
What second love could she [Olympias] make out of her ruined first love? The second love that most women make out of their first love for husbands grows from a mutual and tacit sadness in both husband and wife that he is only in rare moments the man both would like him to be. View quote
Laura Riding
My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We can't decide whether to ruin our carpet or ruin our lives. View quote
Rita Rudner
My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much. View quote
Gwyneth Paltrow
When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws. View quote
Nicolas Chamfort
If we're honest, most of us would accept that a bad boss is a little bit like a bad father or a bad husband ... you find that he tends to do more good than harm. He might be a bad boss but at least he's employing someone while he is in fact a boss. View quote
Tony Abbott
But I like to be thought of as a good father and a good husband. View quote
Treat Williams
Every father is given the opportunity to corrupt his daughter's nature, and the educator, husband, or psychiatrist then has to face the music. For what has been spoiled by the father can only be made good by a father, just as what has been spoiled by the mother can only be repaired by a mother. The disastrous repetition of the family pattern could be described as the psychological original sin, or as the curse of the Atrides running through the generations. (Carl Jung)
I gave myself until I turned 25 to make it. And if it didn't happen, I thought I'd just try to find a nice husband. View quote
Katy Perry
If the husband sits on a chair in the Garden of Eden, his wife is his footstool. View quote
