What nonsense people talk about happy marriages! A man can be happy with any woman so long as he doesn't love her
When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy.
The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.
One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything.
One is not always happy when one is good; but one is always good when one is happy.
Women have become so highly educated... that nothing should surprise us nowadays, except happy marriages.
When you really want love you will find it waiting for you.
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
These days man knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing.
The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly deceived
The secret of life is never to have an emotion that is unbecoming.
