Marriage is one long conversation, chequered by disputes.

It is one of the worst things of sentiment that the voice grows to be more important than the words, and the speaker than that what is spoken.

When a torrent sweeps a man against a boulder, you must expect him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory.

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.

If you want a person's faults, go to those who love him. They will not tell you, but they know.

There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
