"Don't marry a man to reform him..." - Quote by Mae West

“A man has more character in his face at forty than at twenty - he has suffered longer.”

“You gotta get up early in the morning to catch a fox and stay up late at night to get a mink.”

“Everyone has the right to run his own life- even if you're heading for a crash. What I'm against is blind flying.”

“Fang and I are always fighting. When we get up in the morning, we don't kiss; we touch gloves.”

“Successful marriage is leading innovative lives together, being open, non-programmed. It’s a free fall: how you handle each new thing as it comes along. As a drop of oil on the sea, you must float, using intellect and compassion to ride the waves.”

“It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.”

“Our concern for the loss of our friends is not always from a sense of their worth, but rather of our own need of them and that we have lost some who had a good opinion of us.”

“Do not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden do you look at the weeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines.”

“A man does not please long when he has only species of wit.”
