The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.
Answer not a fool according to his folly,lest thou also be like unto him.
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
Jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. [Therefore do not compare your lot with another's lest you see their advantages and lose the joy of what you already have.]
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
A soft answer breaks the rage, a tough answer encourage the fury.
