Love is as strong as death; its jealousy as unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire; like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away

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

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.

All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full.

From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things.

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider.
