Honeymoons are the beginning of wisdom--but the beginning of wisdom is the end of romance.

Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her - when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?

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

The honeymoon is not actually over until we cease to stifle our sighs and begin to stifle our yawns.

A man seldom thinks of marrying when he meets his ideal woman; he waits until he gets the marrying fever and then idealizes the first woman he happens to meet.

Love: woman's eternal spring and man's eternal fall.

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.
