mended, and empty hearts
refilled.

Of course a man is not as jealous as a woman--because it's so hard for
him to believe that a girl on whom he bestows himself could possibly
wish for anything better.

The making of a husband out of a mere man is not a sinecure; it's one of
the highest plastic arts known to civilization.

Before marriage a woman says sweetly, "I understand you!" After marriage
she says coldly, "I see through you!"

Oh, what is so stupid as last year's song,
So foolish as last year's fashion,
So completely forgotten as last year's girl,
And so dead as a last year's passion?
