A woman and a mouse, they carry a tale wherever they go.

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

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.

The temptation to vivify the tale and make it walk abroad on its own legs is hard to deny.

When the waitress puts the dinner on the table, the old men look at the dinner. The young men look at the waitress.

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

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