Uxor, vivamus, quod viximus, et teneamus nomina, quae primo sumpsimus in thalamo: nec ferat ulla dies, ut commutemur in aevo; quin tibi sim iuvenis tuque puella mihi. [Epigrammata, XL, Ad Uxorem, 1)Compare Wife, let us live as we have lived, and keep calling each other by the names we first used when we married. May the day never come that we should change, may I always be your young man, and you my girl.

However, since nature has decreed that we cannot live comfortably with them and without them not at all, we should look rather to our long-term welfare than to our short-term pleasure. [Quotation from a speech by Quintus Metellus Numidicus, consul 109 B.C.]
Cum sitis similes paresque vita, uxor pessima, pessimus maritus, miror non bene convenire vobis.Compare Seeing that you are like one another, and a pair in your habits, vilest of wives, vilest of husbands, I wonder you don't agree!
