Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; If we did not sometimes taste the adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
If what I do prove well, it won't advance,
They'll say it's stolen, or else it was by chance.
Let Greeks be Greeks, and women what they are.
