Often even a whole city suffers for a bad man who sins and contrives presumptuous deeds.
He for himself weaves woe who weaves for others woe, and evil counsel on the counselor recoils.
At the beginning of the cask and the end take thy fill but be saving in the middle; for at the bottom the savings comes too late.
The fool learns by suffering.
Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster
Man's chiefest treasure is a sparing tongue.
