A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.

Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.

True love isn't the kind that endures through long years of absence, but the kind that endures through long years of propinquity.

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.

Before marriage, a man will lie awake thinking about something you said; after marriage , he'll fall asleep before you finish saying it.

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.

A man can become so accustomed to the thought of his own faults that he will begin to cherish them as charming little 'personal characteristics.'
