Americans have always been willing to pay any price for freedom. If you don’t believe it, look at the divorce statistics!

“The only thing a divorce proves is whose mother was right in the first place.”

“Those who are so perturbed over the present divorce rate evidently do not understand the law of supply and demand. There are more lawyers in this country than there are preachers.”

“The unhappiness of a wife with a good husband is much more devastating than the unhappiness of a wife with a bad husband.”
-D.H. Lawrence

“Love at first sight usually ends with divorce at first slight”

“The only good husbands stay bachelors; they’re too considerate to get married.”
-Finley Peter Dunne

“I don’t think I’ll get married again. I’ll just find a woman I don’t like and give her a house.”
