"Obedience to women will have to be repented of." "A man can bear anything but the mention of his women." "The heart of woman is given to folly." "Leave not a girl nor a green pasture unguarded." "What has a girl to do with the councils of a nation?" "If you would marry a beauty, pay her dowry." "Fear not to praise the man whose wives are true to him." "Woman fattens on what she hears." (flattery) "Women are the whips of Satan." "If you would marry a girl, inquire about the traits of her mother." "Trust neither a king, a horse, nor a woman. For the king is fastidious, the horse prone to run away, and the woman is perfidious." "My father does the fighting, and my mother the talking about it." "Our mother forbids us to err and runs into error." |
