We know the good, we apprehend it clearly; but we can't bring it to achievement.

A rare spoil for a man Is the winning of a good wife; very Plentiful are the worthless women.

The wife should yield in all things to her lord

Terrible is the force of the waves of sea, terrible is the rush of the river and the blasts of hot fire, and terrible are a thousand other things; but none is such a terrible evil as woman.

Arm yourself, my heart: the thing that you must do is fearful, yet inevitable.

The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable, Is that which rages in the place of dearest love.

Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.
