When we speak of a calm state of mind or peace of mind, we shouldn't confuse that with an insensitive state of apathy.

I love being divorced. Every year has been better than the last. By the way, I'm not saying don't get married. If you meet somebody, fall in love and get married. Then get divorced.

Nobody ever says 'oh, my divorce is falling apart, it's over, I can't take it.'

As you are not yet married, and as marriage is the fundamental state of life as well as the unity of the commonwealth, make up your mind whether you are called to this state. If you make up your mind to marry, do not marry merely a good wife: marry a good mother to your children.
