"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."

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

"When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one."

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

"Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time."

"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."

"What a man calls his "conscience" is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love."

"Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her—when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?"
