Whatever God has brought about Is to be borne with courage.
Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly; and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
None love the messenger who brings bad news.
For God hates utterly the bray of bragging tongues.
A man who takes pleasure in speaking continuously fools himself in thinking he is not unpleasant to those around him.
Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.
