Helen Rowland quotes

In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar - a practice which is still continued.

After a few years of marriage a man can look right at a woman without seeing her and a woman can see right through a man without looking at him.

Jealousy is the tie that binds, and binds, and binds.

Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.

It isn't tying himself to one woman that a man dreads when he thinks of marrying; it's separating himself from all the others.

Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.

The woman who appeals to a man's vanity may stimulate him, the woman who appeals to his heart may attract him, but it is the woman who appeals to his imagination who gets him.

A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.

One man's folly is another man's wife.

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.

A husband is what is left of a lover, after the nerve has been extracted.

Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.

Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won't even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.

You will never win if you never begin.

Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.
