“Thus the partial differential equation entered theoretical physics as a handmaid, but has gradually become mistress.”
Albert Einstein
“If you can kiss the mistress, never kiss the maid”
Proverb
“A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second; with a husband it runs the other way.”
Honore de Balzac
“Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route.”
Charles Caleb Colton
“What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?”
William Osler
“No lover ever studied every whim of his mistress as I did those of President Roosevelt.”
Winston Churchill
“A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.”
Henry Fielding
