‘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.
Joe Walsh

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.
Albrecht Durer
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.
Tom Shales

When one has love for God, one doesn’t feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
Ramakrishna
176
I thought Clint Eastwood was cool in all the western movies, but I’m not gonna drive somewhere he’s at and stand in line to see him. I told Missy, my wife, ‘The only person I’d stand in line for is God Almighty. You made the universe? All right, I’ll get in line!’
Jase Robertson
177
If I’m to have another birth I wish to be born to the same parents and also have the same supportive wife, Sudha.
Y. G. Mahendran
178
Our daughter’s name Arwynn comes from Arwen in ‘Lord of the Rings’ because my wife and I met for the first time in the Eagle and Child pub in Oxford where J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis used to go to read out their stories to one another.
Adrian McKinty
179
My wife and two children traveled with me on locations all last season.
Martin Milner

The husband and wife are one, and that one is the husband.
William Blackstone
181
I married him because he told me it was the only way he could protect me. If we were just manager and client, my family could do whatever they wanted to get me back, but if I was his wife, they couldn’t.
LaToya Jackson
182
I like my airplane. It’s as much a part of me as anything but my wife and kids.
Arnold Palmer
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.
Michael Weatherly
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.
Sergio Aguero

If you go away on location for three months and your wife stays at home, you’ve made a whole new load of friends and she’s made a whole new load of friends and you get home and you’re kind of strangers.

It was there I met my future wife, Celeste Landry, although our lives took us separate ways for many years and we were not to marry until more than ten years later.
Eric Allin Cornell

My wife, Sharon, and I started with nothing when we got married. I was driving a 1902 Pinto and eating off a card table.
Dave Ramsey
188
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.
Jodi Picoult

Media failed to notice that not one member of Donald’s family, apart from his children, his son-in-law and his current wife said a word of support of him during the entire campaign.
Mary L. Trump

My wife and I both love cooking – I am an advanced male – so we argue about who gets to rustle up dinner.
Stephen Bayley

Music was our wife, and we loved her. And we stayed with her, and we clothed her, and we put diamond rings on her hands.
Lionel Hampton

Today, I have two kids of my own and I talk about the challenges of being a celebrity wife, mom and my kids too.
Aishwarya R. Dhanush

I am definitely not the best wife, and no one has nominated me for ‘Mother of the Year.’
Abby Johnson
194
Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself, ‘What makes me come alive?’ Because what the world – a wife, a child – needs is men who have come alive.
John Eldredge

The only reason I don’t want to commit adultery is because I love my wife and I love my lord.

I want to be a good wife, a good mother, a good person.
Peaches Geldof

I knew ‘Rakta Charitra’ would be a story between two men, Suriya and Vivek Oberoi. I had no problem when Ram Gopal Varma told me that I had only a small role as Suriya’s wife who is supportive of his decisions.
Priyamani
201
I am not good wife material because I’m fiercely independent and like to go off and do my own thing.
Amanda Harlech
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?
Luis Guzman
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.
Michael York
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.
Ben Shahn
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.
Joyce Banda
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.
Denis Norden
207
That’s what a man wants in a wife, mostly; he wants to make sure one fool tells him he’s wise.
George Eliot
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.
Roy Nelson
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.
Romesh Ranganathan

Frank Carson

My wife sent her photograph to the lonely hearts club. They sent it back, said they weren’t that lonely.
Les Dawson
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?
Casey Stengel
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.
Irving Penn
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.
Gisele Bundchen

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.

John Bishop
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.
Tom Sizemore

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.
Sable
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.
Edith Stein
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.
Helen Rowland
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.
Mark Wahlberg
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.
Aparna Sen
224
My husband’s a lawyer, and I lived a lawyer’s wife’s life.
Erika Jayne

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.
The Iron Sheik
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.
Thomas Fuller

Once his wife goes to sleep it takes a minor nuclear explosion to wake her.

Kate Middleton has no blue blood coursing through her veins. Her father, Michael, is self-made, and he and his wife have been very successful with their party business, but they are and always will be strictly middle class.
Penny Junor
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.
Darius Rucker
231
I’ve got a wife who never misses me. Her aim is perfect!
Tommy Cooper
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.
Pablo Schreiber
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.

The house wife is an unpaid employee in her husband’s house in return for the security of being a permanent employee.
Germaine Greer
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.
Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
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.’
Frank Abagnale
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.
Steven Levitan
239
My plan after office is to get up and spend that entire first day helping my wife move into her new senatorial office.
William J. Clinton
240
First get an absolute conquest over thyself, and then thou wilt easily govern thy wife.
Thomas Fuller
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.
Morris Gleitzman
242
The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love.
Frank Langella
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.
John Gould
244
The consumer isn’t a moron; she is your wife.
David Ogilvy
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.
Kurt Elling
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.
Triple H

The majority of information I gave police was about my wife and her family, which is what they wanted.

I can assure you that my wife and I – every penny of income we’ve ever had, our taxes were paid in West Virginia.
Joe Manchin
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.
Alain Ducasse
252
Whenever a husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are giving evidence at a coroner’s inquest.
H. L. Mencken
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.
Joe Walsh
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?’
John Kruk

Finding a good band is Iike finding a good wife. You got to keep trying till you find the right one.
Ace Frehley
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.
Anthony Weiner
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.
Peter Falk
258
Men will bear many things from a kept mistress, which they would not bear from a wife.
Samuel Richardson
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.
Malcolm Arnold
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.
Saint Augustine
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.
Scott Ritter
262
My wife wants me to eat fish; she says it is delicious. But I don’t like fish, so that is that.
MS Dhoni
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.
Sara Evans
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.
Nobu Matsuhisa
265
My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.
Rodney Dangerfield
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.
Kerri Walsh Jennings
267
There are three faithful friends – an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Benjamin Franklin
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?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
269
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
Sacha Guitry
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.
Ennio Morricone
271
If you marry a man who cheats on his wife, you’ll be married to a man who cheats on his wife.
Ann Landers
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?
Susan B. Anthony
273
A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.
Michel de Montaigne
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.
Justin Theroux
275
The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife’s spirits.
John Gay
276
People are consistently telling me how much they like my wife. That’s my cross to bear.
Matthew Broderick
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!
William Morris Hunt
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.

Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.

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.
Rutherford B. Hayes
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.
Rob Lowe
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.
Andrew Gotianun
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.
Stephen R. George
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.
Patty Hearst
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.
Mike Tyson
286
And don’t forget, a prisoner’s wife must always think good thoughts.
Nazim Hikmet
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.
Saint Francis de Sales
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.
Bert Kreischer
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!
Gary Paulsen
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.
Jimmy Fallon
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.
Jeff Dunham
292
I’ll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady.
Jackie Kennedy
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.
Johnny Ramone
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.
Medgar Evers
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.
Kevin McCarthy
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.
Jon Heder
297
The true index of a man’s character is the health of his wife.
Cyril Connolly
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.
Ewan McGregor
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.
Sajid Khan
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.
Barbara De Angelis
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.
Aaron Staton
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.
Frans Lanting
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?
Ernestine Rose
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.
Kristin Scott Thomas
305
My wife and I are very affectionate.
Tom Brady
306
I had a happy marriage and a nice wife. I accomplished everything you can. What more can you want?
Max Schmeling
307
My wife, Barbara, is great. She arranges when I do work that I have a day off between performances.
Don Rickles
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.
DMX
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.
Anna Kendrick
310
My wife and I try not to get into each other’s work too much.
Patrick Dempsey
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.
Roseanne Barr
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.
Desiderius Erasmus
313
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
B. R. Ambedkar
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.
Jamie Carragher
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.
Greg Poehler
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!
Jacques Pepin
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.
Pete Best
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.
Donny Osmond
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.
William Adams
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.
Kendra Wilkinson
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.
Harry Connick, Jr.
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.
James M. Barrie
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.
Benjamin Bratt
324
When a man makes a woman his wife, it’s the highest compliment he can pay her, and it’s usually the last.
Helen Rowland
325
I’m completely Americanized – I have an American accent, an American wife – but a residue of me is foreign.
Dinesh D’Souza
326
When my wife and I got married, she thought of me being an easygoing person, and I warned her I wasn’t.
Peter Higgs

My toughest fight was with my first wife.
Muhammad Ali
328
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
Godfrey Winn
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.
Randy Travis
330
I’m proud of my family, very proud – I have ten grandchildren, four children, and one wife.
Dan Shechtman

I am a hopeless romantic, and so is my wife.
Nick Cannon

Being married is such a blessing, and my wife has been a rock. I rely on her for emotional support.
Taysom Hill

I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom.
John Barrymore

My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.
Winston Churchill

My wife Victoria Harwood was art director on ‘Far North,’ and she had designed my student film, ‘The Sheep Thief.’
Asif Kapadia

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.

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.
Al Jourgensen
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.
Herschel Walker
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.
The Iron Sheik
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.
Merle Haggard
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.
Steve Blake
342
I’ve been with my wife since I was 16.
Adam F. Goldberg
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.
Russell Lynes
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.
Walker Hayes
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.
David Ogilvy
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.
Roger Stone
347
He knows little, who will tell his wife all he knows.
Thomas Fuller
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.
Archie Manning
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.
Anita Baker
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.
Brendan Fraser
351
To me, baseball is, in some ways, other than my family and wife, my life, and it always will be.
Joe Buck
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.
Mahatma Gandhi
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.
Jake LaMotta
354
Hubert Humphrey talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning the pages.
Barry Goldwater
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.
Patrick Wilson
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.
Matt Damon
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.’
Lou Holtz
358
I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.
Michael Schumacher
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.
Seamus Dever
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.
Johnny Flynn
361
Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

363
I have often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can’t get my wife to go swimming.
Jimmy Carter
364
My wife doesn’t care what I do when I’m away, as long as I don’t have a good time.
Lee Trevino
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.
Rafael Cruz
366
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, for there are plenty of others.
Otto Rank
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.
Lyndon B. Johnson
368
My wife was delighted with the home I had given her amid the prairies of the far west.
Buffalo Bill
369
I took the vow of celibacy in 1906. I had not shared my thoughts with my wife until then, but only consulted her at the time of making the vow. She had no objection.
Mahatma Gandhi
370
You can bear your own faults, and why not a fault in your wife?
Benjamin Franklin
371
I’m a family guy, I’ve got a beautiful wife, a beautiful son, and I couldn’t be happier.
Max Holloway

Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side.
Zig Ziglar
373
I don’t give up; I go down fighting in everything I do – being a mother, being a wife, being a wrestler, being a Marine, being a sister.
Lacey Evans
374
I call upon my God to judge me, he knows that I love my friends and above all others my wife and children, the, oppinion of the world to contrary notwithstanding.
Stand Watie
375
Be quiet, or my wife will take away your first born and make him or her work in one of her sweatshops!
Marc Anthony
376
I’d have gone berserk if I hadn’t met Sargam Singh, an actress who soon became my wife. Within a year of our marriage our daughter Ameli was born. Sargam gave up her career to look after me and our daughter.
Abhimanyu Singh
377
My wife is my favorite person I’ve ever met in my 40 years on the planet, and I’m sure she would agree that patience is not her strongest characteristic. I don’t know that golf would be the game for her.
Mike Greenberg
378
He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher… or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.
Douglas Adams
379
The first thing I did when I sold my book was buy a new wedding ring for my wife and asked her to marry me all over again.
Nicholas Sparks
380
Never argue with your wife about hostility when she’s a certified Freudian.
William Goldman
381
One day, I came to perform after a film shoot, and I was told that the regular actress couldn’t come, and that my wife will be playing the character of my sister-in-law!
Y. G. Mahendran
382
Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.
Victoria Woodhull
383
Writing is a solitary experience. I’m extremely superstitious. If I talk about the book or name the title out loud before finishing, I feel the energy I need to write will be drained. It’s so intimate, I can’t even share it with my wife.
Paulo Coelho
384
The secrets of success are a good wife and a steady job. My wife told me.
Howard Nemerov
385
I’m always feeling like I don’t belong, no matter where I am. So I’m just searching for a family nonstop, and sometimes I find it in the mosh pit, sometimes I find it when I’m doing some French TV show with the president’s wife.
James Hetfield
386
My wife is my first audience. She’s a tough lady, so I can’t say that I ever scare her. Except, of course, when she sees me the way I look before breakfast.
Dean Koontz
387
Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.
Billy Sunday
388
My wife’s name, Rebecca Lobo, is on sandwiches and street signs in New England. It adorns the arena rafters at the University of Connecticut, where she first became a basketball star. Her high school in Massachusetts is on Rebecca Lobo Way, a nice trump card to play at reunions.
Steve Rushin
389
My muse is my wife. It’s not some vague thing that flutters around the astrosphere or wherever it is. Sometimes as a songwriter you need something to hang a song on, to give it some kind of presence and form. For me, Susie is that.
Nick Cave
390
My marriage is on the rocks again, yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend.
Rodney Dangerfield
391
Behind every successful enterprise, there is a supporting wife and surprised in-laws.
Scott Cook
392
Tiger Woods was a month away from 34 years of age when his debutantes began turning up in the news. He was a grown man with a wife and two children. Well, we supposed he had a wife, but that was before we learned she was only an ornament.
Dan Jenkins
393
Touring is easy. My wife will be with me a lot of the time. We get spoilt rotten, and all I have to do is go on stage in wonderful places and play music.
Chris Rea
394
A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.
Samuel Johnson
395
Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It’s all lies. I have never laid a finger on her.
Mike Tyson
396
Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success.
Jim Backus
397
When I do get married, I’m gonna sing to my wife. If a woman makes me fall in love, I’ve got to sing to her.
Nate Dogg
398
When a man has been consistently battering his wife, he shouldn’t expect a bouquet of roses from her the morning after he promises to stop.
Joe Slovo
399
I go light on breakfast. Sometimes it’s a yogurt, but a lot of times it’s leftovers from one of my wife’s dinners.
Ice Cube

George Jean Nathan
402
I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.
Woody Allen
403
I met John Lennon and he was with his wife in Tokyo. I met him there.
Bryan Ferry
404
If I tell a man he needs to quit his soul-sucking job, he has to go home and fight with his wife or fight with his parents and fight with his in-laws and fight with everybody, because men aren’t supposed to be happy; they’re supposed to do well.
Martha Beck
405
I don’t think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing.
Prince Philip
