For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.

That, who keeps his mouth, keeps his Soul.

He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

Under the Sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor wealth to the intelligent, nor success to the skillful, but time and chance govern all. For man does not know his time.

A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but a foolish man's heart directs him toward the left.

A soft answer breaks the rage, a tough answer encourage the fury.

A wise person will listen and take in more instruction.
