What a man calls his 'conscience' is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.
Helen RowlandTo make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is "misunderstood" or that he is "different;" none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more than merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.
