I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.

I do not want a husband who honours me as a queen, if he does not love me as a woman.

Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.

There is no greater stupidity than for people...to marry and so surrender themselves to the small miseries of domestic and private life.

My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.

It's a funny thing that when a man hasn't anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.
