Irish women are always carrying water on their heads and always carrying their husbands home from pubs. Such things are the greatest posture-builders in the world.

I should like to know what is the proper function of women if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out.

If women believed in their husbands they would be a good deal happier and also a good deal more foolish.

Husbands never become good they merely become proficient.

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.

Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.

You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women you can't progress.

Ah! how annoying that the law doesn't allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts.

The divine right of husbands like the divine right of kings may it is hoped in this enlightened age be contested without danger.
