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

“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.”

“You will never win if you never begin.”

“Never worry for fear you have broken a man's heart; at the worst it is only sprained and a week's rest will put it in perfect working condition again.”

“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.”

“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.”

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