SAYINGS FROM THE TALMUD

The soldiers fight, and the Ungs are heroes. The World is saved by the breath of school children. Turn the Bible and turn it again, for everything is fn it The camel wanted to have horns and they took away his ears. If a man divorcee his wife, the altar itself sheds tears over him. An honorable man honors his wife; a contemptible one despiseth her. The' loss of a first wife is like the loss of a man’s sanctuary in his lifetime. The man who marries a woman congenial to himself is loved by the Almighty. When the thief has no opportunity; of stealing, he considers himself an honest man. He who has no wife lives without comfort, without help, without joy and without blessing. If a word Is spoken its time is worth one piece of money, silence in its time is worth two. Man and wife well matched have heaven's glory as their companion; man and woman ill matched are encircled by a devouring fire. When a man loseth his wife, the world around him groweth dark, the light in his tent is dim and the light before him is extinguished.
