Quote by Marie Corelli

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon and a cat that comes home late at night.

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets

Summary

In this quote, the speaker humorously suggests that they have found companionship and amusement through their three pets, to the extent that they don't feel the need for a human spouse. Each of their pets fulfills a different role: the dog serves as an alarm and protector, the parrot provides continuous entertainment with its swearing, and the cat embodies independence by returning home late. This lighthearted statement highlights the speaker's contentment with the company and characteristics of their pets.

I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.
