Quote by Marie Osmond

When you have a baby, love is automatic, when you get married, love is earned.

When you have a baby, love is automatic, when you get marrie

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a fundamental difference between the experience of love towards one's own child and towards a spouse. Having a baby instantly triggers a deep, instinctual love, while in a marriage, love must be cultivated and nurtured over time. While the love for a child feels almost immediate and natural, the love in a marital relationship requires effort, understanding, and mutual respect to develop and maintain. It reminds us that love in a marriage is a continuous choice and commitment, rather than something that is automatically granted.

All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory -- of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.

The rich, the well-born, and the able, acquire an influence among the people that will soon be too much for simple honesty and plain sense, in a house of representatives. The most illustrious of them must, therefore, be separated from the mass, and placed by themselves in a senate; this is, to all honest and useful intents, an ostracism.
