A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.

Better is the man of humble standing that works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread.

Love is strong as the Death; jealousies are as cruel as the tomb.

A wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
