“When [men] see a pretty woman, and feel the delicious madness of love coming over them, they always stop to calculate her temper, her money, their own money, or suitableness for the married life.... Ha, ha, ha! Let us fool in this way no more. I have been in love forty-three times with all ranks and conditions of women, and would have married every time if they would have let me. How many wives had King Solomon, the wisest of men? And is not that story a warning to us that Love is master of the wisest? It is only fools who defy him.” IfsMenWayLoveFeelsHas BeensStoriesThreeLove IsWifeConditionsMastersFoolKingsMarriedLet MeMadnessFortyWarningTemperDeliciousThree TimesWisestMarried LifeBeen In LoveSolomonPretty Woman Author:William Makepeace Thackeray
