When it shall please God to bring thee to man's estate, use great providence and circumspection in choosing thy wife. For from thence will spring all thy future good or evil; and it is an action of life, like unto a stratagem of war; wherein a man can err but once!
Philip SidneyThe highest point outward things can bring unto, is the contentment of the mind; with which no estate can be poor, without which all estates will be miserable.
Philip Sidney
