The spirit in which one earns his daily bread means as much to his soul as the bread itself may mean to his body.

There are many people who consider love a dream, but they usually grow to think of marriage as the cold breakfast.

How strange it is that life must be nearly over, before one fully learns to live!

Womankind suffers from three delusions: marriage will reform a man, a rejected lover is heartbroken for life, and if the other women were only out of the way, he would come back.

It is personal vanity of the most flagrant type which intrudes itself, unasked, into other people's affairs. There are few of us who do not feel capable of ordering the daily lives of others, down to the most minute detail.

marriage is a great strain upon love.

Some women are born to be married, some achieve marriage, and others have marriage thrust upon them.
