The sweetest pleasures soonest cloy, And its best flavour temperance gives to joy.
Those things please more, which are more expensive.
Give up all hope of peace so long as your mother-in-law is alive.

From where can your authority and license as a parent come from, when you who are old, do worse things?
No one every suddenly became depraved.
