Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be broken beyond repair.

Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do. Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head. Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

If you are honest, you will live life safely. But if you are dishonest, you will get hurt.

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.]

Better the anger of a friend than the kiss of an enemy.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise.
