Josh Billings

As a general thing, when a woman wears the pants in a family, she has a good right to them.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt, not swallowed.

Every man has his follies - and often they are the most interesting thing he has got.

There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together.

There are lots of people who mistake their imagination for their memory.
