Because the cat could get no meat, he said, "To-day is Friday." The house that a woman builds God will not destroy; but a woman is likely to destroy the house that God has built. The dowry a woman brings into the house is a bell. Whenever you come near, the clapper strikes in your face. By asking, one finds the way to Jerusalem. Which of the five fingers can you cut off without hurting yourself? The father's kingdom is the son's mite. Far from the eye, far from the heart. If a brother was really good for anything, God would have one. When God gives, He gives with both hands. A daughter is a treasure which belongs to another. The world is a pair of stairs: some go up and others go down. The poor understand the troubles of the poor. The childless have one trouble, but those who have children have a thousand. |
