Love is a matter of give and take -- marriage, a matter of misgive and mistake.

Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.

Going through life without love is like going through a good dinner without an appetite -- everything seems so flat and tasteless.

A man loses his illusions first, his teeth second, and his follies last.

Flattery is like wine, which exhilarates a man for a moment, but usually ends by going to his head and making him act foolishly.

True Love can be no deeper than your capacity for friendship, no higher than your ideals, and no broader than the scope of your vision.

Before marriage, when a woman speaks to a man in an undertone, he calls it "cooing"; after marriage, he calls it nagging.
