E. W. Howe

You needn't love your enemy, but if you refrain from telling lies about him, you are doing well enough.

Marriage is a good deal like a circus: there is not as much in it as is represented in the advertising.

If a woman doesn't chase a man a little, she doesn't love him.

No woman ever falls in love with a man unless she has a better opinion of him than he deserves.

The man who can keep a secret may be wise, but he is not half as wise as the man with no secrets to keep.

Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom; wait until they have been married longer.

Some men storm imaginary Alps all their lives, and die in the foothills cursing difficulties which do not exist.

All of the troubles that some people have in life is that which they married into.

When men are not regretting that life is so short, they are doing something to kill time.

There is always a type of man who says he loves his fellow men, and expects to make a living at it.

Living up to ideals is like doing everyday work with your Sunday clothes on.

There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do and call it Hope.
