A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.

Earn money by taking surveys! International offer!

Men always want to be a woman`s first love - women like to be a man`s last romance.

There is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only; faith, but on one side only; devotion, but on one side only, and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken.

Youth smiles without any reason. It is one of its chiefest charms.

You prefer to be natural? [...] It is such a very difficult pose to keep up.

Only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

Earn money by taking surveys! International offer!

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects.

There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor.

Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

I can resist anything except temptation.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything.

I like men who have a future and women who have a past.

It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
