A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The desire, which is accomplished, is sweet to the soul.
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
Jealousy is cruel as a tomb, its embers are embers of fire.
Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.
If you are honest, you will live life safely. But if you are dishonest, you will get hurt.
