I have never been able to be so allured by the prospect of advantages or so terrified by misfortunes, swayed by honours or fettered by affection, nay not even so smitten by the fear of death, as to enter upon marriage.

Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor's son to marry.

I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.

Me never believe in marriage that much. Marriage is a trap to control me; woman is a coward. Man strong.

She is a true wife who is clean (suci), expert, chaste, pleasing to the husband, and truthful.
