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.

Let him that would move the world first move himself.

There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.

Wisdom begins in wonder.

What you cannot enforce, do not command.

Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.

If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.

He is richest who is content with the least.

He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.

The two simple rules for life:
Know Thyself
Take nothing in Excess

I know I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart.

My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good wife, you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.
