The brash unbridled tongue, the lawless folly of fools, will end in pain. But the life of wise content is blest with quietness, escapes the storm and keeps its house secure.

Impudence is the worst of all human diseases.

Bodies devoid of mind are as statues in the market place.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
