My grandfather was a polygamous man, and he had two wives, and between him and his two wives, we are about 200 or so in our family.

Petina Gappah

A man should be like a child with his wives, but if they need him, he should act like a man

Umar

I can't cut out a piece of cloth and make a lovely dress, but I can mend tears in shirts and sew on buttons.

Joanna Lumley

It usually takes two people a little while to learn where the funny buttons are and testy buttons are.

Matt Lauer

In a new interview, Newt Gingrich says he cheated on two of his wives because he was too consumed with love for his country. Yeah, apparently he misunderstood the phrase, 'Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.'

Conan O'Brien

Trying to make the presidency work these days is like trying to sew buttons on a custard pie.

James David Barber

Such indeed is the superior longevity of the fair females of Surinam, compared to that of the males (owing chiefly, as I said, to their excesses of all sorts) that I have frequently known wives who have buried four husbands, but never met a man in this country who had survived two wives.

John Gabriel Stedman

When should a man stop wearing sports jerseys? When the buttons of his White Sox top finally pop, like rivets on a distressed ocean liner? When the pinstripes of his Yankees shirt have grown wider at the midsection than at the top, as the longitudinal lines on a globe?

Steve Rushin

A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all.

Washington Irving

Every man should be allowed to love two cities, his own and San Francisco

Gene Fowler

I am a neat hand at cookery, and I'll tell you what I knocked up for my Christmas-eve dinner in the Library Cart. I knocked up a beefsteak-pudding for one, with two kidneys, a dozen oysters, and a couple of mushrooms thrown in. It's a pudding to put a man in good humour with everything, except the two bottom buttons of his waistcoat.

Charles Dickens

I love to sew in the hotel room. I even sew in the locker room sometimes.

Bianca Belair

I can't really deal with buttons. And that's what I keep saying, "Okay, I can't push buttons, because that means I have to take my hands off the keyboard or the buttons or whatever. Don't you understand!" .

Pauline Oliveros

Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Paul the Apostle

A man should not love the moon. An ax should not lose weight in his hand. His garden should smell of rotting apples, And grow a fair amount of nettles.

Czeslaw Milosz

What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself. All day long, the mill of his brain is grinding, and his thoughts, not those of other things, are his history. These are his life, and they are not written. Everyday would make a whole book of 80,000 words -- 365 books a year. Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man -- the biography of the man himself cannot be written.

Mark Twain
