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.

Some men are born for matrimony, some achieve matrimony -- but most of them are merely poor dodgers.

When a man makes a woman his wife it's the highest compliment he can pay her – and usually it's the last.

A man's ideal woman is the one he couldn't get.

A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her.

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

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
