147. WOMEN       --page 1134--

         Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies (Pro.31:10).

         1. Love is said to be blind, but I know lots of fellows in love who can see twice as much in their sweethearts as I can.
         2. To a smart girl, men are no problem--they're the answer!
         3. A woman is perturbed by what a man forgets--a man by what a woman remembers.
         4. Girls have an unfair advantage over men; if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.
         5. The most effective water power in the World--women's tears!
         6. Women are the most wonderful creations God ever made, but when they go to the Devil, they are the worst!
         7. Be to her virtues very kind,
         Be to her faults a little blind.
         8. A woman's guess is often much more accurate than a man's certainty.
         9. You can never tell about a woman, and if you can, you shouldn't.
         10. A woman's intuition has often proved truer than man's arrogant assumption of knowledge.
         11. Heav'n has no rage, like love to hatred turn'd
         Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd.
         12. Woman was created from the rib of man. She was not made from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled on. She was made from his side to be equal to him, from under his arm to be protected by him, from near his heart to be loved by him.
         13. Men were not created to understand women, women were created to understand men!
         14. Women!--They make either your best friends or your worst enemies!
         15. In the operation of spiritual gifts, there is true equality for women! (Gal.3:28)
         16. The so-called weaker sex is the stronger sex, because of the weakness of the stronger sex for the weaker sex!
         17. We've got the most beautiful girls in the World! They have to be, because they're the Lord's!--His Queens!
         18. You women are sex itself and Love itself and the manifestation of God Himself!
         19. Most women who say they want equal rights really want superiority!
         20. Whatever women do, they do all the way! They're extremists, built to submit and surrender and go all the way, and if they're for God, they're more for God than anybody! They serve God with utmost abandonment!
         21. All women's dresses are merely variations on the eternal struggle between the admitted desire to dress and the unadmitted desire to undress.
         22. The female form is even more beautiful if artistically draped.
         23. It is a poor testimony for a woman not to wear any make-up if she's pale and needs that colour in order to at least look normal.
         24. You should make God's child look as pretty as possible! As Peter said, your best decoration, your greatest adornment, is a meek and quiet or humble spirit! That's the best decoration you can wear.
         25. All that glitters is not gold.
         26. There's only one thing better than a nice pretty girl--and that's two pretty girls!
         27. The better a woman looks, the longer a man does.
         28. If you don't think girls are dynamite, try dropping one.
         29. Doing a woman's work is like walking down a railroad track; the end seems in sight but never is.
         30. Nothing annoys a housewife so much as having her friends drop in and find her house looking as it usually does.
         31. Housework is something you do that nobody notices unless you don't do it!
         32. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach--the way to a woman's heart is through her ears!
         33. The man likes to look and the woman likes to listen. If she lets him look while she listens, they'll get along pretty good!
         34. Some women aren't very good at counting calories and they have the figures to prove it.
         35. A man's major interest in the woman is the woman herself, whereas normally a woman's main interest in a man is, "What has he got to give me, what can he do for me?"
         36. Weaker vessels are very receptive and open but also much more fragile and have to be handled with care.
         37. Women's greatest motivation in sex is not the mere sex and the temporary thrill, but eventual security.
         38. You are the love of God, the ultimate creation that was given to man!
         39. Women were built to surrender, believe it or not. If you're not the surrendering kind, girls, you're not normal.
         40. It's the spirit and the personality that does it, not just the flesh.
         41. Women have a God-given and instinctive sixth sense of intuition to warn them of things that are about to happen lest they happen without warning and be too great a shock.
         42. Every woman has her own particular beauty!
         43. The woman is the weaker vessel and because of it God has given her a certain mental power or greater receptivity or sensitivity to spiritual things, so-called intuition, sixth sense or ESP. Most mediums and spiritualists are women.
         44. The spirit and the Word of God encased in frail feminine flesh turns out to be the most powerful and effective weapon the Lord has ever used!
         45. Women are extremists and they're intended to be wholehearted. Whatever they do, they do with all their heart, whether it's good or evil.
         46. Our girls are unusual girls with unusual guts and far above average, truly sacrificial warriors, women who are willing to fight side by side with their men!
         47. Women are very sensitive in the spirit and they just submit a little more, they're more keen receivers, more sensitive receivers than most men.
         48. The ultimate picture of God's creative love to man is a beautiful woman! You are the love of God!
         49. Women's Lib is a defiance of God's plan and order and is rebellion against her place as a woman!
         50. Most weight-watchers' main problem is not always sweets, of which they are watchful, but fats, starches, oils, over-eating and under-exercising!
         51. A woman's breasts are so symbolic of peace and comfort, provision, security, pleasure, beauty, everything wonderful. That's why the Lord says, "Her breasts shall satisfy thee." (Pr.5:19.)

         52. PRO.11:16a A gracious woman retaineth honour.
         53. PRO.11:22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
         54. PRO.12:4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
         55. PRO.14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
         56. PRO.21:9,19 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
         57. PRO.27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
         58. PRO.31:10-31 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
         59. 1PE.3:1b-4 That, if any obey not the Word, they also may without the Word be won by...your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning...let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
