The man as he converses is the lover; silent, he is the husband.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Anybody who's been married to a man for forty odd years knows he's all talk.
A lover may be a shadowy creature, but husbands are made of flesh and blood.
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
The husband and wife are one, and that one is the husband.
This love is silent.
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
A man who is available for lunch, has no wife, is interested in everything, and talks well is socially invaluable.
A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married.
What does one tell a husband? One tells him nothing.
A man is known by the silence he keeps.
