A wicked wife, a false friend, a saucy servant and living in a house with a serpent in it are nothing but death.

The poor wish for wealth; animals for the faculty of speech; men wish for heaven; and godly persons for liberation.

A permanent relationship is dependent on particular purpose or wealth.

Time perfects men as well as destroys them.

There is poison in the fang of the serpent, in the mouth of the fly and in the sting of a scorpion; but the wicked man is saturated with it.

Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.

The king shall lose no time when the opportunity waited for arrives.
