One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.

Men may be rivals, opponents in their fortunes, and yet be friends in their hearts and fair towards each other's worth; but woman, the instant she is rivaled, becomes unjust.

I was really a little housewife with two small children, and I had a husband who really didn't want his wife to work. He didn't like the competition. That's why I'm not married to him anymore.

Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.

My wife and I don't compete. We know each other's preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That's what friends do.

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.

It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all.

If I'd married someone in show business, there'd be too much competition.

I was at one time a football wife, and there is a certain level of bonding that happens between women who are the wives of football players.

For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one.
