What a man calls his 'conscience' is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.

It is as hard to get a man to stay at home after you've married him as it was to get him to go home before you married him.

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.

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

The woman who appeals to a man's vanity may stimulate him, the woman who appeals to his heart may attract him, but it is the woman who appeals to his imagination who gets him.

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.

Better a lively old epigram than a deadly new one.
