A man cannot possess anything that is better than a good wife, or anything that is worse than a bad one.

We did not flinch but gave our lives to save Greece when her fate hung on a razor's edge.

A man cannot possess anything that is better than a good wife, or anything that is worse than a bad one.

If to die honorably is the greatest Part of virtue, for us fate's done her best. Because we fought to crown Greece with freedom We lie here enjoying timeless fame.

A man gains no possession better than a good woman, nothing more horrible than a bad one.

Not even the gods fight against necessity.

There's no joy even in beautiful Wisdom, unless one have holy Health.
