"Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone." ― Jean-Jacques Rousseau Topic(s): Marriage More From Jean-Jacques Rousseau "We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man’s estate, is the gift of education." "I have resolved on an enterprise that has no precedent and will have no imitator. I want to set before my fellow human beings a man in every way true to nature; and that man will be myself." "How many famous and high-spirited heroes have lived a day too long?" More In Marriage "The big difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money usually costs a lot less."― Brendan Behan "Marriage made more sense when it was indissoluble. It’s the woman trying to cope with the strains of a one-parent family who will suffer most from the relaxation of the divorce laws."― Germaine Greer "I wanted my marriage to work, but it didn’t."― Diane Abbott
