“If you try putting a woman on a horse when she does not want to go, she may put a knife in your ribs.”

“Never prod at a woman unless you must. She will kill you faster than a man and for less reason, even if she weeps over it after.”

“A weeping woman is a bucket with no bottom.”

“I think the woman was born in Far Madding in a thunderstorm. She probably told the thunder to be quiet. It probably did.”
