"Marriage is a rosy yoke. He who puts his head in it thinks he has put it in roses. Roses fade, wear off, and the yoke remains. This is clearly visible to a sober eye, and in fact no one marries, but marries a woman.

Marriage is a rosy yoke. He who puts his head in it thinks he has put it in roses. Roses fade, wear off, and the yoke remains. This is clearly visible to a sober eye, and in fact no one marries, but marries a woman.
"Hungarian
"A házasság rózsás iga. Aki belédugja a fejét, véli, hogy rózsákba dugta. Rózsák leperegnek, lekopnak, s az iga marad. Józan szemmel ez tisztán látható, s voltaképpen nem házasodik senki, hanem egy nőt vesz el."
