“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.”

“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.”

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

“When you see a married couple walking down the street, the one that's a few steps ahead is the one that's mad.”

“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.”

“Telling lies is a fault in a boy, an art in a lover, an accomplishment in a bachelor, and second-nature in a married man.”

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