Valerius Maximus tells how, when Phoroneus, the king of the Greeks, was dying, he said to
his brother Leontius that there would have been nothing lacking to him of complete happiness if a
wife had always been lacking to him. And when Leontius asked how a wife could stand in the way
of happiness, he answered that all married men well knew. And when the philosopher Socrates
was asked if one should marry a wife, he answered: If you do not, you are lonely, your family dies
out, and a stranger inherits; if you do, you suffer perpetual anxiety, querelous complaints,
reproaches concerning the marriage portion, the heavy displeasure of your relations, the
garrulousness of a mother-in-law, cuckoldom, and no certain arrival of an heir. This he said as one
who knew. For S. Jerome in his Contra Iouinianum says: This Socrates had two wives, whom he
endured with much patience, but could not be rid of their contumelies and clamorous
vituperations. So one day when they were complaining against him, he went out of the house to
escape their plaguing, and sat down before the house; and the women then threw filthy water over
him. But the philosopher was not disturbed by this, saying, “I knew the rain would come after the
thunder.”
There is also a story of a man whose wife was drowned in a river, who, when he was
searching for the body to take it out of the water, walked up the stream. And when he was asked
why, since heavy bodies do not rise but fall, he was searching against the current of the river, he
answered: “When that woman was alive she always, both in word and deed, went contrary to my
commands; therefore I am searching in the contrary direction in case even now she is dead she
may preserve her contrary disposition.”
And indeed, just as through the first defect in their intelligence that are more prone to abjure
the faith; so through their second defect of inordinate affections and passions they search for,
brood over, and inflict various vengeances, either by witchcraft, or by some other means.
Wherefore it is no wonder that so great a number of witches exist in this sex.
Women also have weak memories; and it is a natural vice in them not to be disciplined, but to
follow their own impulses without any sense of what is due; this is her whole study, and all that
she keeps in her memory. So Theophrastus says: If you hand over the whole management of the
house to her, but reserve some minute detail to your own judgement, she will think that you are
displaying a great want of faith in her, and will stir up a strife; and unless you quickly take
counsel, she will prepare poison for you, and consult seers and soothsayers; and will become a
witch.

GREAT POWER OF RANDOM!!!
