"Hast thou been honest in all thy dealings?"
"Hast thou set aside a portion of thy time for the study of the law?"
"Hast thou observed the first commandment?"
"Hast thou, in trouble, still hoped and believed in God?"
"Hast thou spoken wisely?"
All the blessings of a household come through the wife, therefore should
her husband honor her.
Men should be careful lest they cause women to weep, for God counts
their tears.
In cases of charity, where both men and women claim relief, the latter
should be first assisted. If there should not be enough for both, the
men should cheerfully relinquish their claims.
A woman's death is felt by nobody as by her husband.
Tears are shed on God's altar for the one who forsakes his first love.
He who loves his wife as himself, and honors her more than himself, will
train his children properly; he will meet, too, the fulfillment of the
verse, "And thou shalt know that there is peace in thy tent, and thou
wilt look over thy habitation and shall miss nothing."
