He is a fool who tries to match his strength with the stronger.
Far best is he who is himself all-wise, and he, too, good who listens to wise words; But whoso is not wise or lays to hear another's wisdom is a useless man.
Keep adding little by little and it will become a big heap.
Hunger is an altogether fit companion for the idle man.
The potter is at enmity with the potter.
Gossip and rumor are evil; easy to lift up, heavy to carry, and hard to put down again.
