I have a maid.

I always see my wife as the clever one, as the wise one in the family.

Clever people master life; the wise illuminate it and create fresh difficulties.

But I don't sit down at dinner and have clever ideas.

Clever men are good, but they are not the best.

Honestly, I just assume that whatever is going to happen to me is going to happen. There it goes: someone is there, someone isn't there. This girl is here. This food is here. I think the clever people are the ones who do a little as possible.

Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.

A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire it.

Clever people will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness.

I'm pretty handy in the kitchen. But my wife's the real genius.
