One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
A soft answer breaks the rage, a tough answer encourage the fury.
Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things.
