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

A widow is a fascinating being with the flavor of maturity, the spice of experience, the piquancy of novelty, the tang of practiced coquetry, and the halo of one man's approval.

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

A man's heart may have a secret sanctuary where only one woman may enter, but it is full of little anterooms which are seldom vacant.

An optimist is merely an ex-pessimist with his pockets full of money, his digestion in good condition, and his wife in the country.

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

It's easier to hide your light under a bushel than to keep your shady side dark.
