Quote

The only good husbands stay bachelors: They're too considerate to get married

A reader seldom peruses a book with pleasure until he knows whether the writer of it be a black man or a fair man, of a mild or choleric disposition, married or a bachelor

Accident counts for much in companionship as in marriage

The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother

A man should be taller, older, heavier, uglier, and hoarser than his wife

The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife's spirits
