Nowadays love is a matter of chance, matrimony a matter of money and divorce a matter of course.

The feminine vanity-case is the graveyard of masculine illusions.

Fortunately for women, most men mistake loneliness for love before marriage, and habit for happiness afterward.

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

In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar - a practice which is still continued.

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.

The honeymoon is not actually over until we cease to stifle our sighs and begin to stifle our yawns.
