A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike;
The waters wear away the stones; its overflow washes away the dust of the earth; and You destroy the hope of man.
A foolish son is the ruin of his father, and the quarrels of a wife are a constant dripping.
It is better to live in the wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and angry wife.
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
to restrain her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in the right hand.
