The Instructions of Ptah-Hotep 

Beware of Consorting with Women

If you desire to continue friendship in any abode wherein you enter, be it as master, as brother, or as friend; wheresoever you go, beware of consorting with women. No place prospers wherein that is done. Nor is it prudent to take part in it; a thousand men have been ruined for the pleasure of a little time short as a dream. Even death is reached thereby; it is a wretched thing.
