Some Chinese Proverbs.

Respect always a silent woman
great is the wisdom of the woman
that holdeth her tongue.
A vain woman is to be feared, for
she will sacrifice all for her pride.
A naughty woman STUN bles, for
she cannot see what may be in her
way.
Trust not the woman that thinketb
more of herself than another; mercy
will not dwell in her heart.
The gods honor her who thinketh
long before opening her lips.
A woman that respects herself is
more beautiful than a single star
more beautiful than many stars at
night.
Give heed to her to whom children
have come; she walks in the sacred
ways and lacks not love.
A mother not spoken we'll of by her
children is an enemy of the state she
should not live within the Kingdoms
wall.
A woman without children has not
yet the most precious of her jewels.
Give heed to the voice of an old
woman; sorrow has given her wis
dom.
A woman that is not loved is a
kite from whom the string has been
taken; she driveth with the wind and
cometh to long fall.-PhHadelphia
