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

Of earth's goods, the best is a good wife; a bad, the bitterest curse of human life.

Not even the gods fight against necessity.

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.

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.

What is life without the joy of Love?
