Nothing annoys a man as to hear a woman promising to love him "forever" when he merely wanted her to love him for a few weeks.

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.

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

No man can understand why a woman shouldn't prefer a good reputation to a good time.

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

Verily, the best of husbands hath many raw edges, and many unnecessary pleats in his temper, and many wrinkles in his disposition, which must be removed.

The follies which a man regrets the most in his life are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.
