A broken-down roué sneers at love as a woman with no more hair sneers at curls, The Bible says all are born evil, and perhaps this is the reason why defects please quite as often as virtues. There would be less of sin in the world if men feared to offend God as much as they do a pretty woman, The love of a man is more than angelic when he can love with the breadth of heaven betwixt himself and the object of his passion, A man is always jealous of a wife many years his ju- nior.
