Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
Better to live in the desert than with a contentious and ill-tempered wife.
A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—
Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but she who causes shame is like decay in his bones.
Better a dry morsel in quietness than a house full of feasting with strife.
Better a dish of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox with hatred.
