Reformed rakes make the best husbands,"Violet said. "Rubbish and you know it." -Anthony to Violet

Julia Quinn

Some women have the best husbands. Others make the best of the husbands they have.

Ann Landers

That drew a mocking laugh from Lillian. “Really, someone should tell St. Vincent that he’s a living cliché. He has become the embodiment of everything they say about reformed rakes.

Lisa Kleypas

Chumps always make the best husbands. All the unhappy marriages come from the husbands having brains.

P. G. Wodehouse

Chumps always make the best husbands. When you marry, Sally, grab a chump. Tap his head first, and if it rings solid, don't hesitate. All the unhappy marriages come from husbands having brains. What good are brains to a man? They only unsettle him.

P. G. Wodehouse

American husbands are the best in the world; no other husbands are so generous to their wives, or can be so easily divorced.

Elinor Glyn

Handsome husbands often make a wife's heart ache.

Samuel Richardson

I think that we, women, are so often defined by who our husbands are and what our husbands do. And it's time for that to end.

Natalie Portman

Married men make the best husbands.

James Huneker

And believe me, darling, there's no man more faithful than a reformed playboy. They make far better husbands than men who haven't had time to sow their wild oats before they marry, so go off the rails at about forty-five because they suddenly realise that they've missed out on life and if they don't hurry up it's going to be too late.

Sally Wentworth

The good husbands understand and offer to help. "All you have to do is ask" they say. But even helpful husbands have to be thanked, their contributions acknowledged, credit given. All those pleases and thank yous. Being grateful takes time and energy. It's often easier to do it yourself.

Bettina Arndt

The Reformed tradition at the beginning of the twenty-first century is different as a consequence of this - and different in nontrivial ways. Some may scoff at this, saying that such "developments" don't represent Reformed thought. But by what standard? Perhaps by the Westminster Confession. But this is only one Reformed confession, and it was only ever a subordinate standard.

Oliver D. Crisp

The expansion I have in mind isn't the same as distortion. Of course, there are those who say their views represent Reformed thought, but what they end up with is a caricature of what Reformed thinking is really about. I hope I am not one of those people, but readers [of the Saving Calvinism] will have to make up their own minds on that score!

Oliver D. Crisp

Reformed theology belongs to this confessional tradition, and Reformed theologians and churches continue to write confessions even today.

Oliver D. Crisp

No confession is inerrant; Reformed Christians are supposed to be those who seek to be constantly reformed according to the Word of God - and that includes our confessions as well.

Oliver D. Crisp

We women feel we are here to serve. That's the mistake we make. We may have children, husbands, lovers, bills, responsibility. Those things don't own us, but too often we let them.
