Jealousy is the tie that binds, and binds, and binds.

There are only two kinds of men the dead and the deadly.

The hardest task in a girl's life is to prove to a man that his intentions are serious.

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

A man never knows how to say goodbye a woman never knows when to say it.

Life begins at 40 - but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.

In olden times, sacrifices were made at the altar, a practice which is still very much practiced.

The woman who appeals to a man's vanity may stimulate him, the woman who appeals to his heart may attract him, but it is the woman who appeals to his imagination who gets him.

In love, somehow, a man's heart is always either exceeding the speed limit, or getting parked in the wrong place.

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.

After a few years of marriage a man can look right at a woman without seeing her and a woman can see right through a man without looking at him.

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

To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is ''misunderstood'' or that he is ''different'' none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.

A bachelor has to have inspiration for making love to a woman, a married man needs only an excuse

The more you love someone the more he wants from you and the less you have to give since you've already given him your love, bottling

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 man is like a cat chase him and he will run - Sit still and ignore him and he'll come purring at your feet.

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

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

Who seeks to please all men each way, and not himself offend, he may begin his work today, but God knows where he'll end

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

Nobody is quite so blase and sophisticated as a boy of nineteen who is just recovering from a baby grand passion

For repeating themselves from the first kiss to the last sigh, the average man's love affairs have History blushing with envy

A widow is a fascinating being with the flavor of maturity, the spice of experience, the piquancy of novelty, the tang of practiced coquetry, and the halo of one man's approval.

Ever since Eve started it all by offering Adam the apple, woman's punishment has been to supply a man with food then suffer the consequences when it disagrees with him.
