HE WHO CAN does, he who can't is shocked.
A ROMANCE is wonderful while it lasts, but if it lasts it ceases to be a romance.
TO BE successful in love one must know how to begin and when to stop.
MANY A MAN has ended by running away with a woman because he had not the sense to begin by running away from her.
MANY AN impecunious stylist has found that a girl is more easily won by an ordinary bank-note than an extraordinary love note.
AN INFALLIBLE way of acquiring a host of friends is to be a host yourself.
THERE ARE three stages in a man's infatuation for a woman: making his way, having his way, and going his way.
IT IS THE MAN who has no right who generally comforts the woman who has wrongs.
WOMEN who are the easiest to win are always the most difficult to lose.
IT IS perfectly saintly to love some women; and that presumably is sacred love. It is perfectly natural to adore others; and that probably is profane love.
MANY A WOMAN'S undoing is due to her maid.
WHEN A MAN is lost to one woman it is generally because he has been found by another.
A MAN MAY BE legally attached to one woman and yet sincerely attached to another.
TO INDULGE in independent ways one really needs to have independent means.
IT IS no use collecting notable acquaintances unless you can be sure that they will recollect you.
BY ALL MEANS tell a woman you love her, but don't tell her anything else.
THAT A MAN and woman are always together proves nothing--but it is probably true.
IF A WOMAN goes too far with a man, she comes back alone.
A PRETTY woman in a becoming gown is a temptation--men love temptations.
IF YOU CANNOT be funny without being shocking, it is better to be shocking.
OF COURSE it is quite dreadful to lead another into mischief, but it is almost impossible to enjoy oneself alone.
NOTHING is more infuriating than to be accused of doing something which one has taken every precaution to keep secret.
THE WOMEN who have nothing to show are the ones who have nothing to hide.
IF ONE lives long enough one is bound to become respectable and virtuous--hallowed by time.
WOMEN are always asking questions and men are always inventing answers-- and women are none the wiser.
GOODNESS is only a relative term, and one that is always on the tongue of relatives.
A WOMAN'S accounts of how she spent 'the house money' are only equalled in inventive genius by a man's accounts of how he spent his time.
THERE ARE two sorts of lovers--those who forget and those who are forgotten.
ONE SOON gets tired of saying a thing over and over again if nobody contradicts, just as one soon gets tired of doing a thing over again if no one says one mayn't.
LOVE IS NICE when it is new, but it wears badly and is impossible to renovate.
EVEN THE MOST upright man may be tempted by a recumbent woman.
A WOMAN may have no reticence about her ankle or even her knee if it is pretty, but she will never show her hand.
EVERYONE must take chances and if they turn out right they are renamed opportunities.
A MAN will forgive a woman doing everything at his expense except making a joke.
SOME MEN consider marriage an unnecessary expense, and some men simply won't consider it at all.
MANY a woman has waited patiently for years until the man could afford to marry her, and then he won't wait patiently for five minutes while she puts her hat on.
FLIRTATION and office work are the oil and water which the devil sometimes tempts a man to attempt to mix.
PEOPLE who allow their character to be diluted by other people's opinions are naturally weak.
IT IS ONLY a very great man who, in a higher position, does not look small to the man down below.
IT'S A MISTAKE to take a man into your confidence. If you do you will probably never trust him again and he will certainly never trust you again.
BY ALL MEANS express an opinion but not by post.
IF A WOMAN'S appearance is bad her re-appearance is worse.
IF A WOMAN HAS anything worth telling she tells it; if a woman has anything worth showing she shows it.
IT IS no good laying down the law if you can't take up an argument.
A WOMAN'S MIRROR reflects her whole world.
IT'S A splendid plan to make a man run after you, but remember that he won't go on running indefinitely merely out of curiosity or hope. The time will come when he will sit down to rest--with someone else.
A WOMAN who knows just when and how to make a scene is clever, but the woman who knows just when and how not to make a scene is wise.
A WOMAN always puts on silk stockings before she takes the final step.
ALL BEAUTIFUL things are created for and destroyed by women.
IF A HUSBAND leaves his wife alone ten to one someone else won't.
YOU CAN'T be even acquainted with love without becoming intimate.
