Give me the gift of a listening heart.
Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.
The man who walks with wise men becomes wise himself.
A soft answer breaks the rage, a tough answer encourage the fury.
To gain riches is wise; to pay for riches with happiness is foolish.
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
