One Thousand Proverbs on Woman, Wife, Daughter– Part 3
41.A petted woman does not spin.
42.A house without a woman is a well without a pail.
43.A woman keeps secret only her age and what she does not know.
44.Woman opens up a home but does not close it down.
45.Beat the woman to drive Seven Devils out of her.
King James Version Mark 16:9 “…he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.” In J.B. Phillips the interpretation of the seven devils are seven evil spirits.
(In Luke 8:2, the Bible mentions Mary Magdalene being delivered from “seven devils”. This has been interpreted in various ways, including: literal demon possession, severe mental or physical illnesses, or a symbolic representation of multiple vices or sins. Some interpretations link it to the seven deadly sins or the seven adversaries of the soul).
46.The pretty woman wants three husbands: one rich to support her; one handsome, to love her; one brigand to beat her.
47.A woman without a husband is a horse without a bit.
48.Do not trust the winter sun or a woman’s heart.
49.If women did not sin, there would be no priests to confess them
50.Water and women go as you direct them.
—Bulgarian proverbs
51.When girls whistle the devil laughs outright.
52.A good housewife’s skirt is longer than her petticoat.
–Jesey proverbs
53.Heaven has scattered on earth twelve ounces of honesty and woman has picked up eleven

54.Confide in an aunt and the whole world will know.
(My comments: I worked with a woman in the BBC Bush House in London; My boss used to tell me, Swaminatha! tell this lady anything; you don’t need a mukkkat thuddu / 5 paisa letter. The whole bush house will know it. Now I laugh remembering it)
55.Comb your daughter’s hair until she is twelve; safeguard her until she is sixteen; after sixteen, say ‘thank you’ to whomsoever will wed her (take her off your hands)
56.Praise the horse after a month and a woman after a year.
57.Do not choose your wife at a dance, but on the field amongst harvesters.
58.Take a wife from near, but steal from afar.
59.Young wife, old husband – children a certainty; old wife, young husband- beating a certainty.
60. Smoke, a leaking roof, and a nagging wife—these three drive the farmer away from his home
