Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
The man who walks with wise men becomes wise himself.
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
Happy are those who find wisdom... She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things that can be compared unto her.
