When you see what some women marry, you realize how they must hate to work for a living.

What a man calls his 'conscience' is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.

Woman: the peg on which the wit hangs his jest, the preacher his text, the cynic his grouch and the sinner his justification.

And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.

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

Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.

Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts, and his higher nature - and another woman to help him forget them.

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

Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place.

No man can understand why a woman shouldn't prefer a good reputation to a good time.

Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time.
