Love is as strong as death; its jealousy as unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire; like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away
One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
Who is the wise man? He who sees what's going to be born.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
To gain riches is wise; to pay for riches with happiness is foolish.
A wise person will listen and take in more instruction.
