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

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

Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.

A man marries one woman to escape from many others, and then chases many others to forget he's married to one.

Home is any four walls that enclose the right person.

A good woman inspires a man, a brilliant woman interests him, a beautiful woman fascinates him, but a sympathetic woman gets him.

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.
