It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and angry woman.

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is like rottenness in his bones.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman in a whole house.

A continual dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

Whosoever restrains her restrains the wind, or grasps oil with his right hand.

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox with hatred.

Better is a dry morsel, with quietness, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.
