In courting women, many dry wood for a fire that will not burn for them.

* * * * *

No man has yet discovered the means of successfully giving friendly advice
to women--not even to his own.

* * * * *

A man who can love deeply is never utterly contemptible.

* * * * *

Women are constantly the dupes, or else the victims, of their extreme
sensitiveness.

* * * * *

A man must be a fool who does not succeed in making a woman believe that
which flatters her.

* * * * *

A woman when she has passed forty becomes an illegible scrawl; only an old
woman is capable of divining old women.

* * * * *

A woman full of faith in the one she loves is but a novelist's fancy.

* * * * *

The mistakes of a woman result almost always from her faith in the good
and her confidence in the truth.

* * * * *

Woman is a charming creature, who changes her heart as easily as her
gloves.

* * * * *

The man who can govern a woman can govern a nation.

* * * * *

In the elevated order of ideas, the life of man is glory; the life of
woman is love.

* * * * *

Marriage has its unknown great men as war has its Napoleons and philosophy
its Descartes.

* * * * *

The Indian axiom "Do not strike even with a flower a woman guilty of a
hundred crimes," is my rule of conduct.

* * * * *

Most women proceed like the flea, by leaps and jumps.

* * * * *

When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes. When they
do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even for our virtues.

* * * * *

Marriage should combat without respite or mercy that monster which devours
everything--habit.

* * * * *

There is one thing admirable in women: they never reason about their
blameworthy actions; even in their dissimulation here is an element of
sincerity.
