[matrimony] Is The Grave Of Love.

If I Had Married A Woman Intelligent Enough To Guide Me, To Rule Me Without My Feeling That I Was Ruled, I Should Have Taken Good Care Of My Money, I Should Have Had Children, And I Should Not Be, As Now I Am, Alone In The World And Possessing Nothing.

Hatred, In The Course Of Time, Kills The Unhappy Wretch Who Delights In Nursing It In His Bosom.

For My Future I Have No Concern, And As A True Philosopher, I Never Would Have Any, For I Know Not What It May Be: As A Christian, On The Other Hand, Faith Must Believe Without Discussion, And The Stronger It Is, The More It Keeps Silent.

Enjoy The Present, Bid Defiance To The Future, Laugh At All Those Reasonable Beings Who Exercise Their Reason To Avoid The Misfortunes Which They Fear, Destroying At The Same Time The Pleasure That They Might Enjoy.

The Same Principle That Forbids Me To Lie Does Not Allow Me To Tell The Truth.
