Alas, why will a man spend months trying to hand over his liberty to a woman--and the rest of his life trying to get it back again?

A man seldom thinks of marrying when he meets his ideal woman; he waits until he gets the marrying fever and then idealizes the first woman he happens to meet.

Estimated from a wife's experience, the average man spends fully one-quarter of his life in looking for his shoes.

When perfect frankness comes in at the door love flies out of the window.

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

Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time.

Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won't even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.
