Adam and Eve

1. Adam and Eve have many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.
                                                        -S. L. Clemens (Mark Twain),
                                                                Pudd'nhead Wilson

2. Whilst Adam slept, Eve from his side arose;
    Strange his first sleep would be his last repose.
                                                                               -Anonymous

3. When Adam dolve, and Eve span,
    Who was then the gentleman?
                                                              -John Ball, Wat Tyler's    
                                                                          Rebellion 

4. When Eve upon the first of man 
              The apple pressed with specious cant,
    Oh! what a thousand pities then
              That Adam was not adamant.
                                                              -Hood, Adam and Eve

5. Adam ate the apple, and our teeth still ache.
                                                                  -Hungarian Proverb

6. In Adam's Fall-
    We sinned all.
                                                                -New England Primer
