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

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.

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

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

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

You will never win if you never begin.

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

Home is any four walls that enclose the right person.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.

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.
