Roger,
      Thanks for doing the collecting of noted quotations.  I would
appreciate receiving a copy of such quotes when you collect them.
Thanks!
     A quote that might be appropriate only for limited ocassions is
the following:
 
By all means marry.  If you get a good wife, you will become very happy; if you
 get a bad one, you will become a philosopher--and that is good for every man.
 
--Socrates
