A woman flees from temptation, but a man just crawls away from it in the cheerful hope that it may overtake him.

There are people whose watch stops at a certain hour and who remain permanently at that age.

Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts, and his higher nature - and another woman to help him forget them.

Love is a matter of give and take -- marriage, a matter of misgive and mistake.

To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is "misunderstood" or that he is "different;" none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more than merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.

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

Marriage: a souvenir of love.
