Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.
If you desire wisdom like money and buried treasures, then you'll find it!
Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
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.]
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Give me the gift of a listening heart.
