Richard Schickel

In a society where people can kill their wives on mere suspicion of being disloyal, what they will do once they have irrefutable evidence is anybody's guess.

Amjad Ali

The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to! .

Joseph Addison

Women are at last becoming persons first and wives second, and that is as it should be.

There are a lot of wives who previously would have stuck things out. Now, if their husband is worth 20 million, and they know they can get 10 million if they split up, they think they might as well. Because you can have a whale of a time as a single woman with 10 million pounds in the bank.

Barbara Simpson

[Sometimes diplomats] are like a bunch of jealous wives, ... I know -- I was one.

Maggie Gyllenhaal

Those ranchers in Marfa showed up in their cowboy hats and boots, their wives with their Lady Bird hairdos, and they just loved it. There's an incredible intensity that Angelica has.

The audience gets to watch her become Sylvia, one of the most intense women on the face of the earth.

Paul Alexander

Amy Dulworth

The concept has promise, but, as often happens in Mr. Gilliam's movies, the narrative gets gummed up with his labored surrealism. ? The movie ? has some interesting visual imagery (including gratuitous bugs), but any one of the old wives the Grimm brothers interviewed was a better storyteller.

Lesa Young

Everyone should be responsible for his or her own health, but I think what this survey shows is how much more dependent husbands are on their wives than wives are on their husbands (when it comes to) health issues. This difference is pretty well established in gender roles.

Ross Stolzenberg

Time turns the old days to derision, Our loves into corpses or wives; And marriage and death and division Make barren our lives.

This amendment does not degrade other social relationships. It affirms the unique role of husbands and wives in the rearing of children.

Frank Quilici

The other wives would ask, 'What's Charlie doing? How is he? I used to say, 'Charlie's asleep.' He was always so calm.

Diana Williams

I used to watch roller derby but it was like wrestling. I would love it to come to Fayetteville and I've been trying to get something started. There are so many military wives with nothing to do who would love it.

Crystal Wheeler

She's extremely important, because most often when it comes to wives, they, most of then have had great influence on their husbands, giving him the encouragement to withstand all of the strife and all of the dangers that he had to undergo. I think her being there beside him, gave him some of the strength that he needed in order to carry out the fight.

Joseph Jones

I wish I could anticipate some of the stories and lies that will be told. It's going to be great to get everyone together so we can tell all of the families, all of the wives and children, just how good we were because they never got to see us play.

Larry Conley

Due to the cultural and wealth gap between the Chinese women and their foreign husbands, their marriages are often prone to various misunderstandings and conflicts.

Francis Baron

I feel like a kid again. I also think our wives are happy we're out of the house.

Olaf Kolzig

When you're in the service - you're alone. A lot of times soldiers will find out about their wives leaving them when they're overseas. Information spreads faster these days with the Internet. Any kind of encouragement is valued over there - way beyond money. I've talked to many soldiers and they tell me they'd much rather have a letter than a gift card.

Gerald Sadler

Spas associated with golf resorts enable families to take vacations all can enjoy. What's happening is that more and more wives are beginning to take up the game while on holiday, while the husbands are availing themselves of the spa facilities.

Martin Davis

At first when men lose their hair, they freak out and think they'll look old. Then they calm down. They see models in GQ with shaved heads, and men are finding that their wives and girlfriends like the shaved look. Finally, they're listening to women.

Robert Tollis

They don't want to give the wives their husbands' checks. It was insulting. They're telling us, 'Let your husband come and get it.' They know they are not here.

Imelda Lopez

Our wives are home taking care of everything by themselves. It's a hardship on the wives as well.

Pat Walsh

They have an opportunity to make a difference and I want the wives to not be afraid to make a difference.

Hal Sutton

It's an issue of not wanting to punish someone who is a member of your family, even if that closeness includes abuse. A lot of wives do not report spouse abuse. Lots of families do not report sex abuse because it's still Dad.

Don Strassberg

She didn't want him to burn. He wanted to burn and she tried to stop him. And you know wives and husbands.

Mark Kline

It's more than just a game. It's five days of events, some of which extend beyond the ballpark. People who can't get to the festivities will be able to actually see the players and their wives parading on a red carpet like they were arriving at the Oscars. We're going to showcase the city. We're going to decorate it in ways never seen before.

Marla Miller

Genghis Khan

Doug was always so knowledgeable about that stuff. Our wives used to tease us because we'd go out to dinner and talk about Sunday school.

Dave Knowlton

It's funny watching guys' wives and girlfriends cheer for us. I think we impress people when we play. We've got some girls who have played a little college ball, and we'd be a really good women's team for sure.

Kelly Weidenbach

The MMO gaming audience is already growing beyond the 18 to 34 year old male gamer. More wives and girlfriends are playing these games.

Like Degas did a lot of dancers, Toulouse-Lautrec spent a great deal of time in dance halls and burlesque halls and painted the dancers, the drinkers and those who were out away from their wives.

Nan Curtis

I have always heard an old wives' tale that whatever you are doing on New Year's Day is what you will be doing for the rest of the year. Wow! We could be winning money all year!

Danielle Patterson

I think all of our wives believe that.

Mark Miles

When we won the league championship, all the married guys on the club had to thank their wives for putting up with all the stress and strain all season. I had to thank all the single broads in New York.

Joe Namath

Their wives were there, too. One of them told me, 'You can have him.'

Josephine Crawford

It's a great diversion. We have a lot of the wives and daughters.

Genghis Khan

To girls and wives always alive and fated; To men and scholars always dead like Greek And always mistranslated.

Karl Shapiro

We made contingency plans last week with the threat of a strike. Some guys in Brooklyn made a carpool and came in together. Other guys in Brooklyn had their wives drop them at the Brooklyn Bridge and then they walked. The people on Staten Island took the ferry.

Keith Keenan

I can see a lot of ex-wives and ex-husbands just having a heyday with it.

Karen Adams

The players and their wives were coming out raving about the place. You can't pay for that kind of advertising. They really wanted to put La Costa on the map and having a PGA Tour event, at the time it was potent stuff. It put them on the map quicker.

Mike Crosthwaite

It's saved many a guy from wives, girlfriends, whatever.

Ethel Shatford

I heard a lot of stuff, but my wife and family heard more. If you want to be a coach, you have to deal with it. Luckily, the Internet wasn't as big as it is now. It's harder on the wives than the coaches. No one ever says much to our faces.

Eric Price

The majority of persons choose their wives with as little prudence as they eat. They see a troll with nothing else to recommend her but a pair of thighs and choice hunkers, and so smart to void their seed that they marry her at once. They imagine they can live in marvelous contentment with handsome feet and ambrosial buttocks. Most men are accredited fools shortly after they leave the womb.
