H. L. Mencken
  • Bachelors know more about women than married men if they didn't they'd be married too.

  • Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

  • The only really happy folk are married women and single men.

  • It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.

  • There are men so philosophical that they can see humor in their own toothaches. But there has never lived a man so philosophical that he could see the toothache in his own humor.
