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

Fortunately for women, most men mistake loneliness for love before marriage, and habit for happiness afterward.

Nothing annoys a man as to hear a woman promising to love him "forever" when he merely wanted her to love him for a few weeks.

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

And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.

Love is a matter of give and take -- marriage, a matter of misgive and mistake.

A man's desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the world.
