One man's folly is another man's wife.

Marriage is the only thing that affords a woman the pleasure of company and the perfect sensation of solitude at the same 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.

Some widowers are bereaved -- others, relieved.

A bachelor has to have an inspiration for making love to a woman--a married man needs only an excuse.

Telling lies is a fault in a boy, an art in a lover, an accomplishment in a bachelor, and second-nature in a married man.

What a man calls his 'conscience' is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.
