There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter were unflattering.
A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.
An epigram is a flashlight of a truth; a witticism, truth laughing at itself.
When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.
Man forgives woman anything save the wit to outwit him.
To laughter! The bright coinage of the bank of good will.
