If you see oppression of the poor, and justice and righteousness trampled in a country, do not be astounded.
Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
Love is strong as the Death; jealousies are as cruel as the tomb.
Better is the man of humble standing that works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread.
Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.
