What is better than wisdom? Woman. And what is better than a good woman? Nothing.
We little know the things for which we pray.
Harde is his heart that loveth nought In May.
One shouldn't be too inquisitive in life Either about God's secrets or one's wife.
Purity in body and heart May please some--as for me, I make no boast. For, as you know, no master of a household Has all of his utensils made of gold; Some are wood, and yet they are of use.
Whoso will pray, he must fast and be clean, And fat his soul, and make his body lean.
