Better is the man of humble standing that works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
If you see oppression of the poor, and justice and righteousness trampled in a country, do not be astounded.
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things.
