31
I’ve always been concerned with my sculpture. The drawings I do at night at home to relax. And for a long time, I just gave them to friends or my wife and didn’t really show them.

55
My belief is that my wife should be at home looking after my kids and cooking and cleaning. She’s a very privileged woman to have a husband like me. Not everyone’s in her position, but the ones who are are very lucky. That’s my opinion.
56
You must be ready to give up everything, not only material attachments but also human attachments – father, mother, wife, children – everything that you have. But the one thing which you have to abandon unconditionally is your self.
57
For 10 years while I was at ESPN, I lived at the Residence Inn in Southington, Connecticut, near Bristol.

67
What does it mean to love someone with all your heart? It means to love with all your emotional feelings and with all your devotion. Surely when you love your wife with all your heart, you cannot demean her, criticize her, find fault with her, or abuse her by words, sullen behavior, or actions.
68
I’m not a chef, and I’m not an expert at anything. I’m just a mom and a wife.

75
I wouldn’t be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife.

85
I am a fashion designer. I’m not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I’m a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.

89
In college, my wife did a study abroad in Nairobi, and I did the exact same program in Cape Town. For me, the experience of being in that other culture really set up a longing. When I’m traveling, things seem really sharp. You learn things ten times faster.
90
Do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don’t want to go to PTA meetings.
91
Callista Gingrich has, I suspect, given Newt’s advisers a giant headache. She’s a constant presence at her husband’s side – and a constant reminder of his acknowledged infidelity. Newt cheated on his second wife with Callista, a woman 23 years his junior.

For our anniversary, my wife and I went to see Godzilla, and then we ate at Barnyard Venice, and it was like, ‘We are crazy! The Kardashians have to keep up with us!’

I was separated from my wife at the time. A lot of people think I wrote it about prison.

97
Of all my wife’s relations I like myself the best.
98
I had just broken up with my wife so I was searching for another way to live.

101
I wrote that song for my wife, and it’s what some guy who’s sitting under a tree would be singing to the woman of his life, telling her how wonderful she is. To me, that’s more lasting than something that sounds like it belongs on a movie soundtrack.

103
When I met my wife 20 plus years ago, she was a vegetarian, so I was the closest thing to the devil that she had ever met.

I’m very fortunate in that I don’t have money problems. I have lunch with my wife at home. I don’t have to commute, so I have much more time with my family.
106
What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.

Never take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in.
117
My wife and I invest very, very conservatively.

I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
120
My wife doesn’t even want to spend 2 hours with me.

128
I saw my wife at a pool, flipped over her, and 14 days later we were married.
129
Noah’s daughter is different from the girls of ‘Suburgatory.’ She goes to Brown, so she’s in college, and she’s very smart. And his wife is very much a very strong woman. She’s certainly in charge at his house. She’s Dallas’s polar opposite.
130

131

132
The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.

Who deserves more credit than the wife of a coal miner? Mother was one.
136

137
Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife.
138
I don’t want to be a great chief executive without being a great mum and a great wife.
139
My wife and I have a schizophrenic son. We didn’t want to accept this for 30 years, so we put him under great pressure when we shouldn’t have. He just wanted to be looked after, and we didn’t respect that. We tried to make him independent.
140
I chose to be a working wife and mother. Why should I compromise on either?

Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.
154
I’m lucky to have been blessed with a great family and a wonderful Christian wife.

156
Behind every great man is his wife trying to keep him alive.
157
In Shaquille’s mind, I think I’m always going to be his wife even though that’s not the case. The love is always there and he’s one of my best friends. We have a great time together and our kids love us just being a family.

An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she weren’t.

161
What’s the difference between my wife and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist.
162
I like Hindi movies. Although my wife thinks the hero and heroine breaking into a song and dance every five minutes is ridiculous, but I find them entertaining.
163
I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I’m home, I work very hard to be Todd’s wife and Jade’s mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.
164

170
I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too – for being married so many times.
171
It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear.

172
‘Band Played On’ is a good one. Barbara Orbison, who was Roy’s wife, was involved in publishing in Nashville because she oversaw Roy’s publishing, and she had a company in Nashville. She had a whole bunch of writers assembled, and they got together every day and wrote, and they write for everybody in Nashville.
173
My father suffered much and toiled painfully all his life, for he had no resources other than the proceeds of his trade from which to support himself and his wife and family.
174
‘Minute to Win It’ is a variation on a game show from the 1950s called ‘Beat the Clock,’ in which contestants won washing machines and fox stoles by doing such pointless stunts as catching a tennis ball in a paper cup or knocking a hat off one’s wife’s head with a whipped-cream spritzer.

My wife and two children traveled with me on locations all last season.

182
I like my airplane. It’s as much a part of me as anything but my wife and kids.
183
What happens with ‘Mad Men,’ it’s like an Elvis Costello album; I’ll watch it, and then I immediately have to watch it again. AMC will play it back-to-back. I have a tendency to yell at it when my wife’s not around because if she catches me yelling at ‘Mad Men,’ then it gets weird.
184
I like it in Manchester. I thought it was going to be much colder, but it is not too bad. And my wife and son are happy here, too.

Many of my books come from what if questions that I can’t answer, things that I’m worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American.
189

192
Today, I have two kids of my own and I talk about the challenges of being a celebrity wife, mom and my kids too.
193
I am definitely not the best wife, and no one has nominated me for ‘Mother of the Year.’
194

201
I am not good wife material because I’m fiercely independent and like to go off and do my own thing.
202
I always wondered if you clone your wife and have the cloned wife on the moon and the real wife down here, would that be considered cheating?
203
I had been in a film, playing a young British aristocrat. My wife told me that she was invited to a dinner and she invited me to dinner and the hostess had seen me and said, ‘You cannot bring him.’ but I think that I’ve done enough to shatter the image.
204
An amateur is someone who supports himself with outside jobs which enable him to paint. A professional is someone whose wife works to enable him to paint.
205
Most African women are taught to endure abusive marriages. They say endurance means a good wife but most women endure abusive relationship because they are not empowered economically; they depend on their husbands.
206
It’s a funny kind of month, October. For the really keen cricket fan, it’s when you discover that your wife left you in May.
207
That’s what a man wants in a wife, mostly; he wants to make sure one fool tells him he’s wise.
208
You just got to remember that mine and Dana White’s relationship is like we’re a husband and wife. I do the man’s stuff around the house. I do the fighting, all the man’s stuff, and he does all the woman stuff – all the yapping.
209
The key to a happy marriage is myself being absent for long periods of time. My wife Leesa and I will celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary next year, but if my comedy gigs petered out and I was around the house more, we’d 100% be getting divorced.
210
Greater love hath no man than to attend the Episcopal Church with his wife.
211
I don’t think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.
212
My wife sent her photograph to the lonely hearts club. They sent it back, said they weren’t that lonely.
213
They say Yogi Berra is funny. Well, he has a lovely wife and family, a beautiful home, money in the bank, and he plays golf with millionaires. What’s funny about that?
214
I am a professional photographer because it is the best way I know to earn the money I require to take care of my wife and children.
215
Sometimes when you are a great mom, you’re not so great at your job. And then when you’re good at your job, you’re not so great of a mom or a good wife. It’s a dance that never stops. But it’s beautiful.
216
One thing I am certain of is that, if I have done anything good in music, it was, first, because of my father, and second, because of my wife.
217
By doing the comedy you don’t get heckled by your own wife.
218
My wife and I are a team, and it’s good for my work because I’m interested in working from a stable base.
219
I am very domesticated. Some of my favorite things in life are being a mother and a wife. That’s where I get the most enjoyment from.
220
Both spiritual companionship and spiritual motherliness are not limited to the physical wife and mother relationship, but they extend to all people with whom woman comes into contact.
221
After marriage, a woman’s sight becomes so keen that she can see right through her husband without looking at him, and a man’s so dull that he can look right through his wife without seeing her.
222
My sons and I thoroughly enjoy Legos. We go to the toy store every week for more. I never want to take what we build apart; I want to put it on a shelf. My wife is starting to get a little annoyed with the Legos lying around.
223
My personal fave is ‘The Japanese Wife’, because I think I achieved a lot of what I wanted to do. I wanted that Japanese minimalism in the film, which I managed to get somewhat.
224
My husband’s a lawyer, and I lived a lawyer’s wife’s life.
225
I love my family – wife, daughter, grandchildren. All them are my life. I love them because they know I am the legend but they are my legends because they are my heart.
226
I was reading through endless junk scripts that were being sent my way. Typically the roles were to play his wife or his girlfriend – leading roles for women were few and far between.

If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter.
228
Once his wife goes to sleep it takes a minor nuclear explosion to wake her.

230
I’m lucky my wife is a strong woman. She’s one of the stronger people I’ve ever met. It’s hard for me to be away, but I know my home life is fine because my wife is there.
231
I’ve got a wife who never misses me. Her aim is perfect!
232
I lived in Red Hook, Brooklyn, for about 10 years, and then we moved out to Jersey City after my wife and I bought a house up in the Catskills. I miss Brooklyn, but the commute to the Catskills is about 45 minutes shorter.
233
I’m married to an Italian woman, and I used to love cooking Italian at home, because it’s one-pot cooking. But my wife does not approve of my Italian cooking.
234
I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, and every day I am paid to do what I love.
235
The house wife is an unpaid employee in her husband’s house in return for the security of being a permanent employee.
236
If ever a man and his wife, or a man and his mistress, who pass nights as well as days together, absolutely lay aside all good breeding, their intimacy will soon degenerate into a coarse familiarity, infallibly productive of contempt or disgust.
237
A real man loves and respects his wife and is not only a good father but a man that his kids want to call ‘Daddy.’
238
I was raised Jewish, my wife was raised Catholic. Though we respect each other’s heritage, and while many of our friends are deeply religious, we have chosen to focus on our similarities, not our differences. We teach our children compassion, charity, honesty and the benefits of hard work.
239
My plan after office is to get up and spend that entire first day helping my wife move into her new senatorial office.
240
First get an absolute conquest over thyself, and then thou wilt easily govern thy wife.
241
I was named after my Jewish grandfather who left Poland early in the 20th century. What I knew from an early age was that he had lived most of his life in England, his Jewish wife had died, and he married a non-Jewish woman who was my grandmother.
242
The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love.
243
At the time the world was all upside down. The American people were beginning to move around a lot. The old hometown ties had been pretty much broken. The theme of Farmer Takes a Wife appealed to people. Everybody was homesick. And it sold and sold and sold.
244
The consumer isn’t a moron; she is your wife.
245
I consider myself very fortunate. I have a beautiful wife who supports my work and is raising our daughter when I’m out on the road.
246
Balancing trying to be an athlete trying to get ready for WrestleMania, training twice a day, to everything you do at the office to remembering that you have a wife and kids and everything else – it’s challenging, but you just make it happen. In some ways, it’s no different than anyone else’s life.
247
The majority of information I gave police was about my wife and her family, which is what they wanted.
248
I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well.

250
I can assure you that my wife and I – every penny of income we’ve ever had, our taxes were paid in West Virginia.
251
I only get fat when I eat food cooked by other chefs. At home, my wife does all the cooking. She makes simple things like soups and salads. We both like steamed tofu.
252
Whenever a husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are giving evidence at a coroner’s inquest.
253
My wife was the part of me that was missing. And I got that whole family that came along with her in the deal. It’s an extended family, and they’re very close, and it’s a dynamic that’s never been around me before.
254
On this Twitter thing, at least five people a day say ‘bring back the mullet.’ My wife told me I’m not allowed. Troy Tulowitzki wants me to grow a rat-tail for his charity. I was like, ‘What the heck is a rat-tail?’
255
Finding a good band is Iike finding a good wife. You got to keep trying till you find the right one.
256
I am here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused. I make this apology to my neighbors and my constituents, but I make it particularly to my wife, Huma.
257
My wife loves to get all dressed up and go out, and I’m this gloomy Virgo. It works because of the mutual recognition that we are two democratic narcissists. She does what she has to do, and I do what I have to do. We respect that.
258
Men will bear many things from a kept mistress, which they would not bear from a wife.
259
Although I enjoyed writing Film Music it was always a means to an end, in that it enabled me to keep a wife and family and write my classical music, which has always been my passion.
260
Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man’s wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.
261
I’ve been called a spy of Israel since 1996, and since I made my documentary film in 2000 the FBI has investigated me as an agent of Iraq. The FBI has also opened up an investigation into my wife calling her a KGB spy.
262
My wife wants me to eat fish; she says it is delicious. But I don’t like fish, so that is that.
263
When the child is born, go home and just have it be you and your wife and the baby. I think all the stress can happen when in-laws and relatives all try to come in and help you. The best way to learn is to come home and do it yourself.
264
I like Mercedes because my wife has been in two big accidents and emerged without a scratch, thanks to the safety of these cars.
265
My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.
266
The balancing act of motherhood and a career, and being a wife, is something that I don’t think I’ll ever perfect, but I love the challenge of it.
267
There are three faithful friends – an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
268
Is it not important to find out how to listen not only to what is being said but to everything – to the noise in the streets, to the chatter of birds, to the noise of the tramcar, to the restless sea, to the voice of your husband, to your wife, to your friends, to the cry of a baby?
269
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
270
Everyone has to die. I’m not particularly scared about it. What really frightens me is that if I go before my wife, I will leave her alone, and vice versa. The ideal would be to die together.
271
If you marry a man who cheats on his wife, you’ll be married to a man who cheats on his wife.
272
Woman must have a purse of her own, and how can this be so long as the law denies to the wife all right to both the individual and the joint earnings?
273
A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.
274
It’s like, once you’ve seen Tom Hanks win the Golden Globes, the Oscars, you’ve seen his wife, what kind of car he drives, when you watch his movies, you can’t fully get really lost in them.
275
The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife’s spirits.
276
People are consistently telling me how much they like my wife. That’s my cross to bear.
277
What is nobler than a man wresting and wringing his bread from the stubborn soil by the sweat of his brow and the break of his back for his wife and children!
278
I only travel to good material, a good director and a good company. I won’t work in another country for a year any longer, because I have a lovely wife and I adore her and I can’t bear to be away from her.
279
Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.
280
Do not let your bachelor ways crystallize so that you can’t soften them when you come to have a wife and a family of your own.
281
My two sons are the most important things in the world to my wife and I – they are what I build my world around.
282
I started with no money. I had to borrow money in the beginning. I’m always a dreamer. I dream and envision what to do, then my wife will help me realize those dreams. I always conceptualize.
283
I got up with my wife, I sat down at the computer when she went to work, and I didn’t stop until she got home.
284
I mean, Emily Harris was his wife. And she seemed to resent his leadership, but on the other hand, she felt like a good soldier, that he had to be the leader.
285
You can’t stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat.
286
And don’t forget, a prisoner’s wife must always think good thoughts.
287
Through devotion, your family cares become more peaceful, mutual love between husband and wife becomes more sincere, the service we owe to the prince more faithful, and our work, no matter what it is, becomes more pleasant and agreeable.
288
I grew up Catholic and still feel a lot of Catholic guilt. But my wife is not religious so we’re not raising our daughters religiously.
289
I don’t have a favorite author; I have favorite books. ‘Moby Dick’ is a favorite book, but Melville was a drunk who beat his wife. ‘Moveable Feast’ by Hemingway, but I would not like him personally. He was a stupid macho person who believed in shooting animals for fun, but that book was incredible!
290
I’d be nothing without my wife. She’s the coolest. She’s the greatest. She is the smartest. She’s the funniest. I love her so much. She’s like the – it’s like your best friend for the rest of your life.
291
I’ve skewered whites, blacks, Hispanics, Christians, Jews, Muslims, gays, straights, rednecks, addicts, the elderly, and my wife. As a standup comic, it is my job to make sure the majority of people laugh, and I believe that comedy is the last true form of free speech.
292
I’ll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady.
293
When I was younger, I was ready to go off at any time. My wife, Linda, and I would go out to the Limelight in New York, and I would see people and be able to freeze them with a look. People were even too scared of me to tell me that people were scared of me.
294
I love my children and I love my wife with all my heart. And I would die, die gladly, if that would make a better life for them.
295
My wife Judy and I have two kids: Connor, 17, and Meghan, who is 14. My wife and I no longer worry about what we become – we are worried about what our children become.
296
Marriage is all about knowing the ins and outs and the intimate details, and your wife is supposed to be the person you know best. But my brother and I think alike, know everything about one another, and when we get together, we block everything else out. Nothing exists in our world except for us.
297
The true index of a man’s character is the health of his wife.
298
I found my partner, my life partner, and I really am in love with my wife, and we have a lovely time, and we share a long history together and children together, and that’s it.
299
I am nearly 40 and still unmarried because my wife would be the one who has been a movie buff like me since she was born.
300
The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It’s a choice you make – not just on your wedding day, but over and over again – and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
301
When I was right out of college, I felt competitive with some of the guys in my class over career stuff. It’s funny now to think about it – that a friend getting a job or something had anything to do with me… I think that my relationship with my wife has played a pivotal role in the chilling out of Aaron.
302
My wife says that I become different once I start to work with animals. My movements become different, my mood is different. It involves letting everything fall behind you, becoming intuitive in your dealings with wild creatures in a way that bypasses reason. Sometimes it’s more like a dance than anything else.
303
Again, I shall be told that the law presumes the husband to be kind, affectionate, and ready to provide for and protect his wife. But what right, I ask, has the law to presume at all on the subject?
304
If you make a film about a pig farmer in Wales and you are a huge hit as the pig farmer’s wife, the next thing is you’ll be asked to do a film about a sheep farmer in Scotland.
305
My wife and I are very affectionate.
306
I had a happy marriage and a nice wife. I accomplished everything you can. What more can you want?
307
My wife, Barbara, is great. She arranges when I do work that I have a day off between performances.
308
When I’m at home, I don’t discuss business. I don’t talk business. I don’t answer the phone. It’s just me, my wife, my children, my dogs. That’s my world.
309
I guess as long as people think of me for different ages, I’ll trust their opinion. I remember noticing one year that Michelle Monaghan played 34 and 19, so I’ve kind of clung to that as my justification that I can be Jake Gyllenhaal’s wife and a freshman in college in the same year.
310
My wife and I try not to get into each other’s work too much.
311
Growing up in a Jewish matriarchal world inside the patriarchal paradise of Salt Lake City, Utah, gave me increased perspective on gender issues, as it also did my gay brother and my lesbian sister. Our younger sister is the perfect Jewish-American wife and mother, and is fiercely proud of that fact.
312
I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people.
313
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
314
My wife never went to many Liverpool games but if she was out on a Saturday, she would always ask someone for the score. If we had won, she’d simply be relieved that I would be coming home in a good mood.
315
It’s interesting because Swedes subtitle everything, so they’re so used to it. When my wife watches a show with subtitles, she has a skill to be able to watch and read. Whereas I’m more of a read or watch.
316
After 45 years of marriage, when I have an argument with my wife, if we don’t agree, we do what she wants. But, when we agree, we do what I want!
317
I walked out of the show business in 1968 because I thought that would be good for the family. It took me some time to decide but I wanted to spend more time with my wife and two daughters who were always beside me. I wanted to do everything I could for them.
318
When I was 20, 21 years old, I had just got married. Put yourself in my wife’s shoes. All of these fans all across the world would have Donny Osmond burning – record-burning parties. They would put my albums and burn them.
319
Therefore I do pray and entreat you in the name of Jesus Christ to do so much as to make my being here in Japan known to my poor wife, in a manner a widow and my two children fatherless; which thing only is my greatest grief of heart and conscience.
320
Before, back in the ’50s, women didn’t have as many rights as men, so they had to be that stay-at-home wife and take care of the kids all day. But now, with marriage, it’s a partnership. It’s not like this old traditional marriage that it once was.
321
I love my wife and I know she loves me. We’re best friends. We’re just lucky to have found each other. It takes a lot of work but I just feel very blessed that I found the right person. It’s a very fortunate situation and not everyone has that.
322
Every man who is high up likes to think that he has done it all himself, and the wife smiles and lets it go at that.
323
Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy, it’s romantic.
324
When a man makes a woman his wife, it’s the highest compliment he can pay her, and it’s usually the last.
325
I’m completely Americanized – I have an American accent, an American wife – but a residue of me is foreign.
326
When my wife and I got married, she thought of me being an easygoing person, and I warned her I wasn’t.
327
My toughest fight was with my first wife.
328
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
329
For me, having come to study and understand some of the Bible and finally getting saved made a huge difference in me, because my wife was a big influence on that. I saw in her, when I first met her, a person’s soul at peace with everything and everybody around her.
330
I’m proud of my family, very proud – I have ten grandchildren, four children, and one wife.
331
I am a hopeless romantic, and so is my wife.
332
Being married is such a blessing, and my wife has been a rock. I rely on her for emotional support.
333
I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom.
334
My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.
335
My wife Victoria Harwood was art director on ‘Far North,’ and she had designed my student film, ‘The Sheep Thief.’
336
I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender.
337
You know what? I feel my book is kind of pointless. I didn’t want to do a book, but rather than tell the same old stories over and over when my wife Angie and I are out at parties, I could just hand out a bunch of books, and she won’t have to hear them ever again.
338
God, my parents, my wife. I don’t have a lot of friends, because I’m always moving around. I don’t drink, so I don’t hang out in bars. But they’ve been very big in my life. Because they have helped to encourage me.
339
I love the Kanye West, I respect the Kanye West, but his wife look like fat penguin. She eat too much cheeseburger and she have no moderation.
340
My second wife Bonnie Owens and I worked together after we divorced for a period of maybe 20 years. And I managed to stay friends with another wife. And then there’s one that I don’t mess with. Everybody’s got one of those.
341
I’m pretty quiet. But I love to play sports. I like playing all sports. I’ll act goofy at times around my wife and my son, around my own family. I like to have fun in general.
342
I’ve been with my wife since I was 16.
343
A lady is nothing very specific. One man’s lady is another man’s woman; sometimes, one man’s lady is another man’s wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.
344
When I lost my first record deal, my wife and kids and I lost – I wouldn’t say friends, but – we lost a lot people around us. They just vanished! They were nowhere to be found. I couldn’t get a break, and I couldn’t get people to even respond to my emails about songs, no matter how good something was.
345
Never write an advertisement which you wouldn’t want your family to read. You wouldn’t tell lies to your own wife. Don’t tell them to mine.
346
A 527 doesn’t have a wife. It doesn’t have a brother-in-law who knows a lot about politics, or a union president who calls and doesn’t like the color of the suit, or bimbo eruptions. It’s the perfect candidate, because it has no personal characteristics.
347
He knows little, who will tell his wife all he knows.
348
My wife, Olivia, always thought I was one day going to go into coaching. But after playing until I was 37, I didn’t want to subject my family to that nomad life. I think I definitely could have done it.
349
I made numerous attempts to find a way to do it all, to be a creative singer, songwriter, producer, and to be the mother, daughter, sister, lover, wife. And the thing about music is, with me, that she’s a harsh mistress. She does not come to me in the midst of stress.
350
I have so much satisfaction in my life. I have a beautiful wife and the great stimulation of an interesting career. I’m the most happy fellow that I know.
351
To me, baseball is, in some ways, other than my family and wife, my life, and it always will be.
352
Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.
353
Most of the time, husbands and wives argue about stupid, foolish things. If it doesn’t mean that much to you, give in to your wife.
354
Hubert Humphrey talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning the pages.
355
I like it when my wife is in her jeans, with very little makeup. But, I also appreciate the range – the different ways she can look. The moment she walks out all dressed up and… whoa! That’s always good.
356
Now that I have kids, I’m probably more overprotective than I’ve ever been. My wife’s nickname for me is ‘red alert.’ I sometimes check just to see if the kids are breathing. But I try not to be a helicopter parent.
357
We were at a beach one summer, and I had a bathing suit on. My wife looked at me and said: ‘Boy, you are skinny, aren’t you?’ I said: ‘Honey, I’d like to remind you that it was minor defects like this that kept me from getting a better wife.’
358
I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.
359
My wife Juliana and I first saw Eurovision while on our honeymoon in Greece in 2006, and we were amazed by it. They basically recreate a music video onstage, and pyro cannons, LED video screens, background dancers, fireworks, costume changes, and wind machines are their tools.
360
I had a series of jobs in the small fishing village in West Wales where my family lived when I was a teenager. I worked as a fisherman in the day, and then the skipper and his wife ran a small restaurant – she’d cook the fish he caught.
361
Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.
362
My wife thinks she’s better than me at puzzles. I haven’t given in on that one yet.
363
I have often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can’t get my wife to go swimming.
364
My wife doesn’t care what I do when I’m away, as long as I don’t have a good time.
365
As God commands us men to teach your wife, to teach your children – to be the spiritual leader of your family – you’re acting as a priest. Now, unfortunately, unfortunately, in too many Christian homes, the role of the priest is assumed by the wife.
366
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, for there are plenty of others.
367
I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. First, let her think she’s having her own way. And second, let her have it.
368
