There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.

There is nothing more dangerous than the conscience of a bigot.

Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.

Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.

Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?

What God hath joined together no man shall put asunder; God will take care of that.
