It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.Honoré de Balzac
A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second; with a husband it runs the other way.Honoré de Balzac
My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.Elizabeth II
I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing.Prince Philip

Things go bad after a divorce and often stay that way. It is rare for the parties to return placidly to a time before they met. A bitterness lingers on. Those who call this our Independence Day, fantasising of returning to a never-never time before they married, when they were free, easy, single, and master of their fate, are delusional.Howard Jacobson

I've been married three times. I married the girl next door when I was 22, and I wasn't a good husband, but I wasn't a good anything then. Nowadays, I'm much kinder.Howard Jacobson
I've always said if a woman is looking for a good husband, she should go for a Jewish man past 60. Jewish men are essentially brought up to love women. Then you rebel against that and become a bit of a bastard. Then at 60, you revert.Howard Jacobson
