Advice about Women

¹³ No wound is as serious as wounded love. No troubles are as serious as the troubles that women cause. ¹⁴ No sufferings are worse than the sufferings caused by people who hate you. No revenge is worse than revenge taken by an enemy. ¹⁵ No poison is deadlier than the poison of a snake, and no anger is deadlier than the anger of a woman.^[a]
