“When a girl marries, she exchanges the attention of many men for the inattention of one.”

“When you see what some girls marry, you realize how they must hate to work for a living.”

“Before a marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you`ve said; after marriage, he`ll fall asleep before you finish saying it.”

“Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won`t even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.”

“a wise woman puts a grain of sugar in everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.”

“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.”

“The bond of sisterly love is much tighter than the bond which binds men.”
