From the library
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
