“When a woman reaches forty, she must wait twenty years for her husband to catch up.”

“Let the wife make her husband glad to come home and let him make her sorry to see him leave.”

“There is no good reason. Don't waste your life waiting for good reasons… You'll wait and wait.”

“I'm only waiting for my wife to grow up.”

“The salary simply means becoming dependent on someone's pocket. Like a good dog who waits for his master to throw the bone at him, after having eaten all the meat.”
