“Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common-sense.”

“In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar, a custom which is still continued.”

“Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.”

“When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they "don't understand" one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.”

“A husband is what is left of a lover, after the nerve has been extracted.”

“Failing to be there when a man wants her is a woman's greatest sin, except to be there when he doesn't want her.”

“Love, like a chicken salad or restaurant hash, must be taken with blind faith or it loses its flavor.”

“The follies which a man regrets most in his life are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.”

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

“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.”

“In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar - a practice which is still continued.”

“It takes a woman twenty years to make a man of her son, and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him.”

“It takes one woman twenty years to make a man of her son - and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him.”

“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.”

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

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

“A Bachelor of Arts is one who makes love to a lot of women, and yet has the art to remain a bachelor.”

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

“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.”
