Marriage

1. "A man is only as faithful as his opportunity."  (Chris Rock)

2. "Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences."  (Isadora Duncan)

3. "Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same."  (Oscar Wilde)

4. "I don't think it's the nature of any man to be monogamous. Men are propelled by genetically ordained impulses over which they have no control to distribute their seed."  (Marlon Brando)

5. "It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."  (Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche)

6. "The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one."  (Joan Baez)

7. "When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one."  (Helen Rowland)

Page 14: Argumentative Essays

Many men make excuses for being unfaithful, but some

give detailed reasons. The actor Marlon Brando accounts

for male infidelity with a scientific explanation. He argues

that since men are genetically ordained to spread their

seed, it is against nature for them to be monogamous.

For Oscar Wilde, monogamy is “one wife too many” and

therefore simply a waste of time, while Chris Rock

questions whether faithfulness really exists at all among

men. He claims that “a man is only as faithful as his

opportunity”, meaning basically that if a man has the

chance to cheat, he will.

Education

1. "Education is a vaccine for violence."  (Edward James Olmos)

2. "Education must have an end in view, for it is not an end in itself."  (Sybil Marshall)

3. "Genius without education is like silver in the mine."  (Benjamin Franklin)

4. "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."  (George Bernard Shaw)

5. "I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand."  (Confucius, 551 BC-479)

6. "I've never let my school interfere with my education."  (Mark Twain)

7. "If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way."  (Mark Twain)

8. "No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree."  (Lee Rudolph)

9. "In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad."  (Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche)

10. "You are rewarding a teacher poorly if you remain always a pupil."  (Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
