Better to live out in the desert than with a nagging, complaining wife.

A good wife is her husband's pride and joy; but a wife who brings shame on her husband is like a cancer in his bones.

Stupid children can bring their parents to ruin. A nagging wife is like water going drip-drip-drip.

Better to live on the roof than share the house with a nagging wife.

A nagging wife is like water going drip-drip-drip on a rainy day.

Better to eat vegetables with people you love than to eat the finest meat where there is hate.

Better to eat a dry crust of bread with peace of mind than have a banquet in a house full of trouble.
