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

A man's desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the world.

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 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.

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

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 marries one woman to escape from many others, and then chases many others to forget he's married to one.
