Marriage Quotes...

I was going to post these in the comments in that earlier post, but I think no one goes down more than one or two posts Jackie... :)

"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly."
-- Rose Franken

"We love because it's the only true adventure."
-- Nikki Giovanni

"Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one."

-- Fredrich Halm

"To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage."
-- Lao Tzu

"There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage."
-- Martin Luther

"Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on Earth."
-- John Lyly

"The best way to get husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they are too old to do it. "
-- Shirley MacLaine

"Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few."
-- George Jean Nathan

I'll post some more in the comments later... :)

Of course there are only about 4 or 5 people who even comment, and Petra is busy moving, so who knows if there will be any more... Still astounds me that people read but don't comment, but I've gotten over it... :) I actually deleted my blog once over that issue, but have moved on... I now just post what I want, could care less if anyone comments or not... I do like comments though! :) Hopefully others will post some quotes! It does still astound me though, when I look at the traffic, and it's like, don't you have anything to say? I guess not, whatever...

Titus said...

LOVED the quotes! we'll definitely use them.

on the comments thing, most are afraid to speak their minds. They simply say what they feel people want to hear, or deride people for not being 'sensitive to others'.. i call them sheep.

Joe said...

Great quotes! Marriage is a very special thing and shold be held to a higher light!

Petra said...

I've been so busy it's not funny - I stop to read here and there but usually that's all I have time for. I'll be back though. :D

p.s. I like comments too and sometimes wonder at the fact that an average of 58 different people view my blog each day and only a few of them ever comment. Maybe they just don't have as much to say as I do. LOL I figure if they're reading though - they must enjoy the blog. :)

Andrea said...

I like the quotes. Very nice indeed. I often read and don't comment, because I have nothing to say, and don't really like to get involved in the stuff, but enjoy watching. :-)

Petra said...

lol - yay, an explanation. now, if all the readers could post a short explanation, I think that will satisfy us as to why ppl don't comment. Haha. :)

Titus said...

ummm... hey there petra, you didn't like my explanation? :)

Petra said...

LOL Titus. Yeah, your explanation was good - but I want to hear it from the actual people. Maybe there are some that have other reasons than being afraid? At least I was hoping. Ha. :)

Matthew said...

LOL Andrea... That was Carolyn's response... :)

Andrea said...

Yeah, we never hear from Carolyn. She should start her own blog.

Matthew said...

LOL! I'm sure that would make for interesting reading... :)

Petra said...

I also vote for Carolyn to start her own blog!!!! Go Carolyn! Go Carolyn!!! :)

Jackie said...

THANKS!!!

I love the quotes. We didn't get many ideas for quotes for the wedding, so I had to look elsewhere for some. But a couple of the ones you have are what we had too. I would love most of the quotes to be from family and friends, but whatever. We did get a couple that will all be used. :D

THANKS FOR THE POST!!!

Jackie said...

as for commenting... sorry if my comments are dumb sometimes, I comment sometimes just to say something. We, too LOVE COMMENTS and look forward to seeing what people have to say about ANYTHING!!!

Matthew said...

I don't think they are dumb at all! Speak your mind here and say whatever you want! :)

Daniel said...

I comment when I feel like it. LOL

I always check out your blog, but don't always comment. . . like, on the furniture or yard stuff, I mean, I just don't have much to say there. :) But, I do enjoy seeing the pics of the progress you make!

I always like to see comments on my blog, though, even if it's just "Hey, I read this post!" I probably won't be blogging much after July, so you all had better enjoy it while it's there!! LOL
