Quote by Samuel Johnson

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.

Summary

This quote suggests that the responsibilities and commitments that come with marriage, such as having a spouse, can have a significant impact on a person's decision-making and behavior. It implies that bachelors, who are typically unmarried and have no spouse to consider, may have more freedom to act according to their own conscience. On the other hand, married men may be influenced or guided by the wishes, expectations, and concerns of their wives, potentially shaping their choices and actions accordingly.
