A man who marries his mistress leaves a vacancy in that position.

Oscar Wilde

There are three times in a man's life when he has the right to yell at the moon-when he marries; when his children come; and when he finishes a job he had to be crazy to start.

Borden Chase

The reclusive man who marries the gregarious woman, the timid woman who marries the courageous man, the idealist who marries the realist we can all see these unions: the marriages in which tenderness meets loyalty, where generosity sweetens moroseness, where a sense of beauty eases some aridity of the spirit, are not so easy for outsiders to recognize; the parties themselves may not be fully aware of such elements in a good match.

Robertson Davies

What a man marries for's hard to tell ... an' what a woman marries for's past findin' out.

Ellen Glasgow

A man who marries a woman to educate her falls victim to the same fallacy as the woman who marries a man to reform him.

Elbert Hubbard

Oscar Wilde

The terrible tabulation of the French statists brings every piece of whim and humor to be reducible also to exact numerical ratios.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

When a man marries a widow his jealousies revert to the past: no man is as good as his wife says her first husband was

Samuel Johnson

Jesse Jackson's in trouble. They're going after this tax thing. Jesse said he will amend his taxes to show the money that he paid to his mistress. See, he has just one mistress. Jesse uses the standard mistress deduction. As opposed to Clinton, who had to itemize.

Jay Leno

The organizer who creates roles, who creates the holes that will force the pegs to their shape, is a prime creator of personality itself. When we ask of a man, "What is he?" the answer is usually given in terms of his major role, job, or position in society; he is the place that he fills, a painter, a priest, a politician, a criminal.

Kenneth E. Boulding

When a man marries he takes a bigger risk than the woman, because she can march out with his kids, his money, his home, and his dog.

Laura Schlessinger

If a man marries his housekeeper or his cook, the national dividend is diminished.

Arthur Cecil Pigou

The English lord marries for love, and is rather inclined to love where money is; he rarely marries in order to improve his coat of arms.

Nancy Mitford

A husband can commit no greater blunder than to discuss his wife, if she is virtuous, with his mistress; unless it be to mention his mistress, if she is beautiful, to his wife.
