Young men want to be faithful, and are not. Old men want to be faithless, and cannot.
Married men are horribly tedious when they are good husbands, and abominably conceited when they are not.
No man should have a secret from his wife. She invariably finds it out.
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
The man who says his wife can't take a joke, forgets that she took him.
