A woman who looks much in the glass spins but little.
The handsomest woman can only give what she has.
A foolish woman is clamorous; she is simple and knoweth
nothing.
Prov. 9:13
One hair of a woman draws more than a bell-rope.
She is noblest, being good.
Whatever may be the customs and laws of a country, the women
of it decide the morals.
Martin
Women are the poetry of the world.
Every wise woman buildeth her house; but the foolish plucketh
it down with her own hands.
Prov. 14:1
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth
shamefully is as rottenness to the bones.
Prov. 12:4
A virtuous woman, though ugly, is the ornament of the house.
She doeth little kindnesses which most leave undone or
despise.
J. R. Lowell
Though men may fall in love with girls at play, there is
nothing to make them stand to their love like seeing them at
work.
Cobbett
Some men prefer long office hours because it shortens their
hours at home.
Women have more strength in their looks than we have in our
laws, and more power in their tears than we have in our
arguments.
Saville
The man after a a woman's own heart may not want it.
A virtuous woman is a splendid prize;
A bad --- the greatest curse beneath the skies.
A handsome woman is soon dressed.
How few are lovely that are made for love!
Do you, my fair, endeavour to possess
An elegance of mind as well as dress?
Lyttelton
When female cheeks refuse to glow,
Farewell to virtue here below;
Maintain your modesty and station,
So women shall preserve the nation.
Prior
Kind words and few are a woman's ornament.
Nothing makes a woman more esteemed by the opposite sex than
chastity.
The world waits for love --- the vigilance of love, the service
of love, the sacrifice of love.
Let no man value at little price a virtuous woman's counsel.
She who does not make her family comfortable will herself never
be happy at home, and she who is not happy at home will
never be happy anywhere.
Addison
'Tis virtue that makes them most admired;
'Tis modesty that makes them seem divine.
Women are never so amiable as when they are useful.
The foundation of domestic happiness is faith in the virtue of
women.
W. S. Landor
A cross-grained woman and a snappish dog take care of the
house.
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above
rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,
so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him
good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh
wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She
is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to
her household, and a portion to her maidens. She
considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands
she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with
strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that
her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold
the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea,
she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not
afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are
clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of
tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is
known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the
land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and
delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour
are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law
of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her
household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her
children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and
he praiseth her.
Prov 31:10-28
Charm is deceitful and beauty passing, but a woman who fears the
Lord, she shall be praised.
Prov 31:30
