This quote by Thomas Fuller suggests that a man's partner can be his biggest blessing or his greatest burden. A good other half can bring a guy delight, friendship, and assistance, while a bad spouse can bring him misery, isolation, and challenge. A guy's wife can be his best friend, his confidant, and his partner in life. On the other hand, a man's wife can be his worst enemy, causing him discomfort, heartache, and frustration. A guy's partner can be his biggest source of strength and his biggest source of weak point. Eventually, a male's better half can be his finest fortune or his worst, depending on the quality of the relationship.
"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality"
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
