There is a vast difference between the savage and the civilized man, but it is never apparent to their wives until after breakfast.

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.

Before marriage, a man will lie awake thinking about something you said; after marriage , he'll fall asleep before you finish saying it.

Flattery is like wine, which exhilarates a man for a moment, but usually ends by going to his head and making him act foolishly.

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.

Soft, sweet things with a lot of fancy dressing - that's what a little boy loves to eat and a grown man prefers to marry.

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.
