But I Am A Just Man, Even

The Woman Who First Gives Life, Light, And Form To Our Shadowy Conceptions Of Beauty, Fills A Void In Our Spiritual Nature That Has Remained Unknown To Us Till She Appeared. Sympathies That Lie Too Deep For Words, Too Deep Almost For Thoughts, Are Touched, At Such Times, By Other Charms Than Those Which The Senses Feel And Which The Resources Of Expression Can Realise. The Mystery Which Underlies The Beauty Of Women Is Never Raised Above The Reach Of All Expression Until It Has Claimed Kindred With The Deeper Mystery In Our Own Souls.

If I Ever Meet With The Man Who Fulfills My Ideal, I Shall Make It A Condition Of The Marriage Settlement, That I Am To Have Chocolate Under The Pillow.

Husbands And Wives Talk Of The Cares Of Matrimony, And Bachelors And Spinsters Bear Them.

Women Can Resist A Man's Love, A Man's Fame, A Man's Personal Appearance, And A Man's Money, But They Cannot Resist A Man's Tongue When He Knows How To Talk To Them.
