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

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

Better is the man of humble standing that works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread.

Give me the gift of a listening heart.

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. from the Book of Proverbs

Happy are those who find wisdom... She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
