One exits with one's husband -- one lives with one's lover.

A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second; with a husband it runs the other way.

A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.

A husband who submits to his wife's yoke is justly held an object of ridicule. A woman's influence ought to be entirely concealed.

Old maids, having never bent their temper or their lives to other lives and other tempers, as woman's destiny requires, have for the most part a mania for making everything about them bend to them.

A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover.
