"Marriage is like life – it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses." ― Robert Louis Stevenson Topic(s): Marriage More From Robert Louis Stevenson "That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much." "An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding." "It is not likely that posterity will fall in love with us, but not impossible that it may respect or sympathize; so a man would rather leave behind him the portrait of his spirit than a portrait of his face." More In Marriage "I was glad to hear of that determination as I detest the practice of cousins marrying or any marriage between persons in which there can be traced the most distant relationship. I go for the improvement instead of the deterioration of our race."― Ezra Cornell "Our Nation must defend the sanctity of marriage."― George W. Bush "I wake up every day and I can’t wait to go to work, and that’s a gift. Not too many people have the opportunity to feel that way."― Tiger Woods
