"The superiority of one man's opinion over another's is never so great as when the opinion is about a woman." — Henry James

Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast.”

The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind

My wife was too beautiful for words, but not for arguments.

A true teacher defends his students against his own personal influences

Arguments out of a pretty mouth are unanswerable

A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world
