Robert Anson Heinlein at bobgod - a wonderful collection of short quotes. Archived here. Starts with a bunch about marriage:

Sovereign ingredient for a happy marriage: Pay cash or do without. Interest charges not only eat up a household budget; awareness of debt eats up domestic felicity.

When the fox gnaws -- smile!

Take care of the cojones and the frijoles will take care of themselves. Try to have getaway money -- but don't be fanatic about it.

And another -- in a family argument, if it turns out you are right -- apologize at once!
