It is truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
Jane Austen (1775-1817) English novelist.
A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy for ever.
Helen Rowland (1875-1950) American journalist.
Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn’t they’d be married too.
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) American journalist.
I have no wife or children, good or bad, to provide for; a mere spectator of other men’s fortunes and adventures, and how they play their parts; which, methinks, are diversely presented unto me, as from a common theatre or scene.
Burton.
Because I will not do the wrong to mistrust any, I will do myself the right to trust none; I will live a bachelor.
Shakespeare.
A man unattached, and without a wife, if he have any genius at all, may raise himself above his original position, may mingle with the world of fashion, and hold himself on a level with the highest; but this is less easy for him who is engaged. It seems as if marriage put the whole world in their proper rank.
