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.

Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.

It is easier to keep half a dozen lovers guessing than to keep one lover after he has stopped guessing.

Love, like a chicken salad or restaurant hash, must be taken with blind faith or it loses its flavor.

A good woman is known by what she does; a good man by what he doesn't.

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

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.
