There is no worse evil than a bad woman; and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one.
Delusive hope still points to distant good.
A wise man in his house should find a wife gentle and courteous, or no wife at all.
What greater pain could mortals have than this: To see their children dead before their eyes?
The wavering mind is but a base possession.
The man who glories in his luck may be overthrown by destiny.
