A good name is better than precious ointment.
The tongue has the power of life and death.
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but a foolish man's heart directs him toward the left.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
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.
