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

A man can become so accustomed to the thought of his own faults that he will begin to cherish them as charming little "personal characteristics”.

A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her imagination, and then they both speak of it as an affair of “the heart.”

A man is like a cat; chase him and he’ll run; sit still and ignore him and he’ll come purring at your feet.

A man’s desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the world.

A marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.

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.

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.

After marriage, a woman’s sight becomes so keen that she can see right through her husband without looking at him, and a man’s so dull that he can look right through his wife without seeing 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.
