Marriage, if one will face the truth, is an evil, but a necessary evil.
All men have one refuge, a good friend, with whom you can weep and know that he does not smile.
The truth sometimes not sought for comes forth to the light.
Never ask the Gods for life set free from grief, but ask for courage that endureth long.
There is no such cozy combination as man and wife.
Know thyself means this, that you get acquainted with what you know, and what you can do.
