Children are like beggars; often coming without being called.Strong drinks are like wars, making cripples of some men, and sending others to the grave.As a mushroom is among roses, so is a shrew in a costly establishment.Scolding wives, like bad clocks, are seldom in order.Beautiful peaches are not always the best flavored; neither are handsome women the most amiable.
