Edgar Watson Howe

Men have as exaggerated an idea of their rights as women have of their wrongs.

No man's credit is as good as his money.

Another person's secret is like another person's money: You are not as careful with it as you are with your own.

I think I am better than the people who are trying to reform me.

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

When a man tells you what people are saying about you, tell him what people are saying about him; that will immediately take his mind off your troubles.

A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice.
