Do you ask why I am unwilling to marry a rich wife? It is because I am unwilling to be taken to husband by my wife. The mistress of the house should be subordinate to her husband, for in no other way, Priscus, will the wife and husband be on an equality.

Wish to be what you are, and wish for no other position.

Glory comes too late when we are nought but ashes.

To the ashes of the dead glory comes too late.

Your page stands against you and says to you that you are a thief.

Live thy life as it were spoil and pluck the joys that fly.

There is no living with thee, nor without thee.
