No man can understand why a woman shouldn't prefer a good reputation to a good time.

One man's folly is another man's wife.

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

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

There's so much saint in the worst of them, and so much devil in the best of them, that a woman who's married to one of them, has nothing to learn of the rest of them.

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

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.
