“Do not choose for your wife any woman you would not choose for a friend if she were a man.”

“A woman's strength should not be in her role, whatever she chooses to be, but in the power to choose that role.”

“If there was anything I'd learned, it's that the man never chooses the woman. All he can do is give her an opportunity to choose him.”

“You don't choose your friends, they choose you, and you either reject them or you accept them without reservations.”

“A woman is a full time job. You have to choose your profession.”

“You may choose your friends, but not your unlikely saviors,” Magnus said cheerfully.”

“Even your future wife / husband will be a complete stranger. Therefore, don't limit yourself to making more friends. At the same time, that doesn't mean not choosing wisely.”

“Aron, you do not have faith in your wife, you do not know your wife, you cannot demonstrate it to me, she does not exist, period… How would you prove me your wife exists?”

“Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.”

“You can choose your friends but you sho' can't choose your family, an' they're still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge 'em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you don't.”
