Nowadays, all the married men live like bachelors, and all the bachelors like married men.

Oscar Wilde

Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.

H. L. Mencken

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.

Samuel Johnson

I collect movies. So I have all those in binders. I don't have the DVDs out. I put them in binders.

Bill Hader

Actually, I probably have 30 binders at home. I have a lot of binders.

Davis Webb

THERE are no wise few; for in all men rages the folly of the Fall. Take your strongest, happiest, handsomest, best born, best bred, best instructed men on earth and give them special power for half an hour and because they are men they will begin to [perform] badly.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

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

Finley Peter Dunne

If competition for Kaggle's top talent becomes fierce enough among banks, insurance companies, hedge funds - we hope the world's best data scientists will earn more than $50 million per year, just like the world's best hedge fund managers.

Anthony Goldbloom

..(T)here are two opposite reasons for being a democrat. You may think all men so good that they deserve a share in the government of the commonwealth, and so wise that the commonwealth needs their advice. That is, in my opinion, the false, romantic doctrine of democracy. On the other hand, you may believe fallen men to be so wicked that not one of them can be trusted with any irresponsible power over his fellows.

C. S. Lewis

The good opinion of our fellow men is the strongest, though not the purest motive to virtue.

Charles Caleb Colton

Married men live longer than single men. But married men are a lot more willing to die.

Johnny Carson

The money men make from their willingness to work the least desirable hours is not a sign of discrimination against women, but a sign of the willingness of mostly married men to lose sleep to support the family as their wife loses sleep to feed the child. A willingness to do the uncomfortable shifts is one reason married men earn more than twice what never-married men earn. Men's contribution, made at night, need not be lost in the dark.

Warren Farrell

The ranks of society are once again filled with Ambitious Mamas, whose only aim is to see their Darling Daughters married off to Determined Bachelors

Julia Quinn

One other thing: at the meeting in Canada, [there was] the coup in Fiji. This comes to an important part of the Commonwealth: the role of the Queen [Elizabeth II]. I had absolutely just enormous respect for her as leader of the Commonwealth. You could talk to her about any of the fifty-one countries of the Commonwealth and you could have an intelligent conversation with her about the economics, the politics. She really immersed herself in the Commonwealth.
