It is hard to be truly excellent, four-square in hand and foot and mind, formed without blemish.

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

What is life without the joy of Love?

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

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