Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.

Men like to pursue an elusive woman like a cake of wet soap - even men who hate baths.

It is in the blood of genius to love play for its own sake, and whether one uses one's skill on thrones or women, swords or pens, gold or fame, the game's the thing.

Style is doing things not in any way but in the best way.

Verily, men do foolish things thoughtlessly, knowing not why; but no woman doeth aught without a reason.

Most women have all other women as adversaries; most men have all other men as their allies.

As the dog becomes thoroughbred in the laws of clan and caste; obedient, fraternal and loyal; so is the man who accepts the gentleman's code.
