Voltaire quote

Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.
Voltaire

Hahahaha .... I really had to laugh out loud when I read that! I mean, I am so used to reading and hearing that in comedy programmes these days that I just never imagined Voltaire to be saying something like that!

I guess during those days mother-in-law jokes were already plentiful, huh?

Just surprised me, that's all. ;P
