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

When a girl marries she exchanges the attentions of many men for the inattention of one.

A man is like a cat; chase him and he will run - sit still and ignore him and he'll come purring at your feet.

A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her.

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.

A man snatches the first kiss, pleads for the second, demands the third, takes the fourth, accepts the fifth - and endures all the rest.

After marriage, a woman's sight becomes so keen that she can see right through her husband without looking at him, and a man's so dull that he can look right through his wife without seeing her.
