I've had a perfectly wonderful evening.  But this wasn't it.
 
There is one way to find out if a man is honest; ask him!  If he says yes you know he's crooked.  
 
Money will not make you happy, and happy will not make you money.

Women should be obscene and not heard.
 
I remember the first time I had sex.   I kept the receipt.
 
Don’t ever underestimate the importance of money. I know it’s often been said that money won’t make you happy and this is undeniably true, but everything else being equal, it’s a lovely thing to have around the house.

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

Years ago, I tried to top everybody, but I don't anymore, I realized it was killing conversation. When you're always trying for a topper you aren't really listening. It ruins communication.
 
I chased a woman for almost two years only to discover her tastes were exactly like mine - we were both crazy about girls.
 
I've been looking for a girl like you - not you, but a girl like you.

Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.
 
Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.
 
I wish to be cremated. One tenth of my ashes shall be given to my agent, as written in our contract.
 
The husband who wants a happy marriage should learn to keep his mouth shut and his checkbook open.
 
Wives are people who feel they don't dance enough.
 
A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running.
 
No man goes before his time / unless the boss leaves early.
 
Remember men, we're fighting for this woman's honor; which is probably more than she ever did.
