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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Love, like a chicken salad or restaurant hash, must be taken with blind faith or it loses its flavor.

Eternity: The interval between the time when a woman discovers that a man is in love with her and the time when he finds it out himself and tells her about it.
