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.]

Give me the gift of a listening heart.

Comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.

To gain riches is wise; to pay for riches with happiness is foolish.

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

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

The lesser of two evils is still evil.
