Life begins at 40 - but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.

True Love can be no deeper than your capacity for friendship, no higher than your ideals, and no broader than the scope of your vision.

When a man makes a woman his wife it's the highest compliment he can pay her – and usually it's the last.

A good woman is known by what she does; a good man by what he doesn't.

To 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.

The follies which a man regrets the most in his life are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.
