Helen Rowland
Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.
Helen Rowland
Marriage is a bargain, and somebody has to get the worst end of the bargain.
Helen Rowland
Some men are born for matrimony, some achieve matrimony -- but most of them are merely poor dodgers.
Helen Rowland
Eve had one advantage over all the rest of her sex. In his wildest moments of rage Adam never could accuse her of being 'just like her mother!
Helen Rowland
A man snatches the first kiss, pleads for the second, demands the third, takes the fourth, accepts the fifth - and endures all the rest.
Helen Rowland
A woman flees from temptation, but a man just crawls away from it in the cheerful hope that it may overtake him.
Helen Rowland
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
Helen Rowland
