Better the anger of a friend than the kiss of an enemy.
Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.
From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things.
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be broken beyond repair.
Jealousy is cruel as a tomb, its embers are embers of fire.
