The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.

My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy if not, you'll become a philosopher.

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.
