I want to see my wife and children every day, I want to see my grass and blossoms and corn... But above all, except the wife and children, I want to see my books.
- John Adams
Being a domestic man, John decidedly missed the wifely attentions he had been accustomed to receive, but as he adored his babies, he cheerfully relinquished his comfort for a time, supposing with masculine ignorance that peace would soon be restored.
- Louisa May Alcott
I already had a feeling I was screwed, seeing I was in sacrificial virgin attire and in a corral. But now I was thinking I was way screwed. My attention focused back on her when she went on to say in a dire tone, The Wife Hunt.
- Kristen Ashley
Every man who is high up loves to think that he has done it all himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that.
- David Bailey
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
Not too many people can afford for the wife to stay home and raise the kids.
- Eric Braeden
In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.
- Gerald Brenan
I know one husband and wife who, whatever the official reasons given to the court for the break up of their marriage, were really divorced because the husband believed that nobody ought to read while he was talking and the wife that nobody ought to talk while she was reading.
- Vera Brittain
Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side.
- Zig Ziglar
The bitterest creature under heaven is the wife who discovers that her husband's bravery is only bravado, that his strength is only a uniform, that his power is but a gun in the hands of a fool.
- Pearl S Buck
A woman should say: "Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman?" If he does, then it's the wife's fault because she is not trying to make him happy.
- Barbara Cartland
I will give you three days to seek your shadow. Return to me in the course of that time with a well-fitted shadow, and you shall receive a hearty welcome; otherwise, on the fourth day - remember, on the fourth day - my daughter becomes the wife of another.

Let us now set forth one of the fundamental truths about marriage: the wife is in charge.
- Bill Cosby
The wife whose sweetly given reply in the face of any problem would be, "Whatever you think is best, dear." Women, take note: a wife like that never needs to fear bubbling away the last of her life through a cut throat.
- Stephen King
Sitting around the house playing the wife and mother is driving me crazy.
- Patsy Cline
She thought about how marvelous is would be to have a wife keeping the house in order, the meals on the table. At the same time it seemed ridiculously unfair that she could never have a wife. In fact, if she married, she would be expected to be the wife.
- Robin Cook
Blood is thicker than water, I know, but it's unnatural stuff to drink so much of. ("The Wife Of Ted Wickham")
- A E Coppard
I'm the wife of a king, and the mother of kings. And I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. So fuck off, Jack.- Queen Christina (The Royal Treatment)
- Maryjanice Davidson
Here is the solution to the American drug problem suggested a couple years back by the wife of our President: Just say no.
- Kurt Vonnegut
We all know that television is better for women as they get into their 40s. You could be more three-dimensional, not just the wife or the mother.
- Dana Delany
You might, from your appearance, be the wife of Lucifer," said Miss Pross, in her breathing. "Nevertheless, you shall not get the better of me. I am an Englishwoman.
- Charles Dickens
Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.
- Victor Hugo
The wife, where danger or dishonor lurks, safest and seemliest by her husband stays, who guards her, or with her the worst endures.
- John Milton
I killed the wife when I first tasted sensual joys without love, and then it was that I killed my wife.
- Leo Tolstoy
Property has ever been a fluid concept--just ask the wife of the Wall Street speculator who writes her party invitations on Marie Antoinette's escritoire.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
- Martin Luther
When you go to awards shows these days, you can walk through a room and they give you everything for free: sunglasses, guitars, stuff for the wife.
- Jordan Knight
To you, death does not simply end life. It steals away the sunsets you'll never see, the children you'll never hold, the wife you'll never love. It's frightening to almost lose your future, and it's heartbreaking to witness death snuff out other people's tomorrows.
- Robert Liparulo
At home in L.A., Sunday is lazy. It's the wife and me lying in bed with coffee, watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually, breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty's. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef.
- Eric Mccormack
Ayrs let long moments fall away. 'You're young, Frobisher, you're rich, you've got a brain, and by all accounts you're not wholly repugnant. I'm not sure why you stay on here.'...
...Couldn't say if Ayrs felt humor, pity, nostalgia or scorn...Jocasta seemed angry with me. 'What?' I hissed.
'My husband loves you,' said the wife, dressing.
- David Mitchell
My wife, well she has extensive experience, because before becoming the first lady, she was the wife of the CEO of a large conglomerate. So I have very high hopes that she will carry out her job successfully as first lady of the Republic of Korea.
- Lee Myungbak
When I read the pilot 'for Married with Children', it just reminded me of my Uncle Joe... just a self-deprecating kind of guy. He'd come home from work, and the wife would maybe say 'I ran over the dog this morning in the driveway'. And he would say 'Fine, what's for dinner?
- Ed Oneill
There are two kinds of marriages - where the husband quotes the wife and where the wife quotes the husband.
- Clifford Odets
First the husband tried to make the wife his possession, and once she is a possession he loses interest. There is some hidden logic in it: his whole interet was to possess; now that is finished, and he would like to try some other woman so he can again go on another trip of possesion.
- Osho
I mean, I had probably an illusion of being the wife that, you know, I wanted to create a home. I wanted to have children. I wanted him to be a husband. It was never going to be that way. It couldn't be that way.
- Priscilla Presley
Oh, but I am quite resigned to taking second place in the shadow of my husband. I am humbly aware that the wife of a great man has to be contented with reflected glory - don't you think so Miss Taggart?"
"No," said Dagny, "I don't.
- Ayn Rand
I think it would be funny to have one of those family decals showing a really skinny teenage girl barfing into a little chalk-outline bag (the bulimic in the family) or the dad figure dressed in the woman's underwear that he truly enjoys slipping into when no one's looking. Or the wife figure smiling with her exaggerated curly hair and tennis skirt, clutching a racket in one hand and a bottle of Stoli' in the other.
- Celia Rivenbark
If they are unsuccessful in married life, who suffers more the bitter consequences of poverty than the wife? But if successful, she has not a dollar to call her own.
- Ernestine Rose
The mass of the people commence life with no other capital than the union of head, hearts and hands. To the benefit of this best of capital the wife has no right.
- Ernestine Rose
But it will be said that the husband provides for the wife, or in other words, he feeds, clothes and shelters her! I wish I had the power to make every one before me fully realize the degradation contained in that idea.
- Ernestine Rose
I'd learned balance is internal; that there really wasn't one set formula for how to live your life nor how to handle the wife-mother-businesswoman juggling act. Maybe it was just being tuned in to every role and knowing when one or the other needed to be the focus.
- Kaira Rouda
Because inside we still carry hte dreams of what could have been, of what should have been, of what we wish could still be. This doesn't mean we aren't content. We are content, but the romantic longings of our girlhood have never entirely left us. It's like Yen-Yen said all those years ago: 'I look in the mirror and I'm suprised by what I see.' I look in the mirror and still expect to see my Shanghai-girl self- not the wife and mother I've become.

Who deserves more credit than the wife of a coal miner? Mother was one.
- Merle Travis
Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife.
- Robin Tunney
It was the wife, John thought. And she was giving this tough guy a tongue-lashing. And the man was taking it.
"Okay. I love you. Bye." Tohrment flipped the phone closed and put it in his pocket. When he focused on John again, he clearly respected his wife enough not to roll his eyes and make some macho, shithead comment about pesky women.
- J R Ward
If I am never to have you again after this night, this moment, you will remain the wife of my soul. Keeper of my heart.
