Good to yourself, evil to others. Needles and pins, needles and pins When a man marries, his trouble begins. A Quaker who married a couple said, Now you are at the end of your troubles. Some time after, the afflicted husband reminded him of the saying, and charged him with misleading him. Nay, said the Quaker, I said you were at the end of your troubles, but I did not say at which end.
Obedient wives lead their husbands.
Sensible men know when they have good wives, and they are glad to let them manage the house, and lead them on to prosperity. The plow goes badly when one ox pulls one way, and the other another. When husband and wife are not of one mind, family arrangements are disarranged. The wife that loves the looking-glass hates the saucepan. Blessed is the wife that can cook well, for she shall have her husband home to dinner.
