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
He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. from the Book of Proverbs
A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.
A good name is better than precious ointment.
To gain riches is wise; to pay for riches with happiness is foolish.
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
