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.

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher...and that is a good thing for any man.

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

I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.

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

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.
