As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will, he will be sure to repent.

Marriage may often be a stormy lake, but celibacy is almost always a muddy horse pond

By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.

Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods.

He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.
