More quotes by Helen Rowland
A man's desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the world.
Helen Rowland
When a man makes a woman his wife it's the highest compliment he can pay her – and usually it's the last.
Helen Rowland
To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is misunderstood or that he is different none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more than merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.
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

Helen Rowland

Helen Rowland
A bachelor gets tangled up with a lot of women in order to avoid getting tied up to one.
Helen Rowland
A husband is what is left of a lover, after the nerve has been extracted.
Helen Rowland
Love is woman's eternal spring and man's eternal fall. It is a game at which men must play against stacked cards, and without the slightest inkling of the trump.
Helen Rowland
There are many times where a woman would gladly drop her husband if she did not feel morally certain that some other woman would come right along and pick him up.
Helen Rowland
A good woman is known by what she does a good man by what he doesn't.
Helen Rowland
It is easier to keep half a dozen lovers guessing than to keep one lover after he has stopped guessing.
Helen Rowland
A man never knows how to say goodbye a woman never knows when to say it.
Helen Rowland
Nobody is quite so blase and sophisticated as a boy of nineteen who is just recovering from a baby grand passion
