A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.
Comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.
A wise person will listen and take in more instruction.
A soft answer breaks the rage, a tough answer encourage the fury.
Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.
Under the Sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor wealth to the intelligent, nor success to the skillful, but time and chance govern all. For man does not know his time.
