"No good deed goes unpunished."

"There are no hopeless situations; there are only men who have grown hopeless about them."

"A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self — in the mirror of some woman's eyes."

"You know, that's the only good thing about divorce; you get to sleep with your mother."

"Always remember, Peggy, it's matrimonial suicide to be jealous when you have a really good reason."
