Woeful is the household that wants a woman

Woman is the confusion of man

Woman’s sword is her tongue, and she does not let it rust

Woman’s place is in the home

Trust not a woman when she weeps

There are hardly any dispute but a woman has been at the bottom of them

The woman you keep, keeps you

The sea, fire, and woman are three evils

Tell a woman she is fair, and she will soon turn fool

Man is the head, but woman turns it

Man has his will, but woman has her way

No war without a woman

Never trust a sleeping dog, a swearing Jew, a praying drunkard, or a weeping woman

Early rain and a woman’s tears are soon over

A sieve will hold water better than a woman’s mouth a secret

A married woman has nothing of her own but her wedding-ring and her hair-lace

A fair woman without virtue is like palled wine

A woman and a glass are ever in danger

A woman has an eye more than a man

A woman is a weathercock

A woman kissed is half won

A woman, a dog and a walnut tree, the worse you beat them, the better they’ll be

A woman’s mind and a winter wind change oft

A woman’s strength is in her tongue

A woman’s tongue wags like a lamb’s tail

Choose neither a woman nor linen by candle-light

Consider the woman who has lost her modesty, lost indeed

Where comes a cow the wiseman lay down, there follows a woman, and where comes a woman follows trouble

When the old woman is hard pressed, she has to run

Tis as hard to see a woman cry, as a goose go barefoot

The secret of an old woman scolding

There’ll be white blackbirds before an unwilling woman ties the knot

There is no thing wickeder than a woman of evil temper

There is nothing sharper than a woman’s tongue

There are three creatures beyond ruling- a mule, a pig and a woman
