From "The Maxims of Noah"

"Crumbs iu the bed may be endured, and an eyelasli may be removed from the eye; but she wlio is always tardy causes anguish continually." "13ut when thou goest among , women let not thy left girl know what thy right girl doeth." "My son, many a damsel is a kitten with men who is a cat with women." "As one who seeketh to fold a newspaper in a high wind, so is he who argueth with an angry woman.,' "As one who pulleth. a bureau drawer that sticketh, so is he who argueth with an angry damsel; thou cans't budge her. "There be three things which causeth a woman joy; yea, four at which she sayeth unto herself 'Thank God!' " "To be told that she resembleth an actress; to be chosen of a man whereof it hath been said, Lo, no woman can sun him." "To hear her lover flatter her iu public, and to Lear h'er rival called intellectual." "Son, give the woman her way, for when her point is accomplished, then shall she surrender all she has fought for." "As a leaky hot water-bottle-in lime of need so is a fond woman who telleth thy secrete; her folly exceedeth her comfort."
