A man may talk inspiringly to a woman about love in the abstract--but the look in his eyes is always perfectly concrete.

A man's ideal woman is the one he couldn't get.

No man can understand why a woman shouldn't prefer a good reputation to a good time.

A bride at her second marriage does not wear a veil. She wants to see what she is getting.

Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place.

A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her.

Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.
