"Seorang istri, jika dia sangat murah hati, dapat membiarkan suaminya memenuhi hingga delapan puluh persen dari harapannya. Selalu ada dua puluh persen lainnya yang ingin dia ubah, dan dia mungkin mengesampingkannya selama seumur hidup pernikahan mereka tanpa mengurangi jumlah itu terlalu banyak. Dia mungkin, di sisi lain, hanya memutuskan untuk menikmati delapan puluh persen, dan keduanya akan bahagia."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

A wife, if she is very generous, may allow that her husband lives up to perhaps eighty percent of her expectations. There is always the other twenty percent that she would like to change, and she may chip away at it for the whole of their married life without reducing it by very much. She may, on the other hand, simply decide to enjoy the eighty percent, and both of them will be happy.
