A good man doubles the length of his existence; to have lived so as to look back with pleasure on our past existence is to live twice.

To the ashes of the dead glory comes too late.

Glory comes too late when we are nought but ashes.

Fortune gives many too much, but none enough.

It is as good as second life to be able to look back upon our past life with pleasure

I wont let a wife lead me to the altar. [I will not have a wife that shall be my master.]

Be merry if you are wise.
