“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.”

“It isn't tying himself to one woman that a man dreads when he thinks of marrying; it's separating himself from all the others.”

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

“A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her.”

“a wise woman puts a grain of sugar in everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.”

“A man snatches the first kiss, pleads for the second, demands the third, takes the fourth, accepts the fifth - and endures all the rest.”

“When a girl marries, she exchanges the attention of many men for the inattention of one.”
