Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.

From sixteen to twenty, all women, kept in humor by their hopes and by their attractions, appear to be good-natured.

Quick as a flashlight

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.

What can be shown, should not be said.

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.
