Verily, the best of husbands hath many raw edges, and many unnecessary pleats in his temper, and many wrinkles in his disposition, which must be removed.

The feminine vanity-case is the graveyard of masculine illusions.

A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.

When a man spends his time giving his wife criticism and advice instead of compliments, he forgets that it was not his good judgment, but his charming manners, that won her heart.

Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.

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.

In love, somehow, a man's heart is always either exceeding the speed limit, or getting parked in the wrong place.
