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

One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do. Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head. Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.

Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.

One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
