Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full. Then the water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea.

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

A ring of gold in a swine’s snout, is a beautiful woman who is without discretion.

First you learn humility, then you experience glory.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming, but who is able to stand before jealousy?

For whoever is joined with all the living, there is hope.

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.

I discovered that wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness. Foolishness leaves you in the dark. But wise or foolish, we all end up the same... we all die and are soon forgotten.

“Who is the wise man? He, who sees what’s going to be born.”

“A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.

For everything there is a season, and a time for very purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to break down, and a time to build up, a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent.

It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

You are better off having a friend than to be all alone. If you fall, your friend can help you up. But if you fall without having a friend nearby, you’re really in trouble. 

Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish woman pulls it down with her own hands.

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his steps.

So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

There is no man who has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, nor has he power over the day of death. And there is no discharge in war. Neither shall wickedness deliver him who is given to it.

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”

“If you see oppression of the poor, and justice and righteousness trampled in a country, do not be astounded.”

“All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full.”

“Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”

“Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.”

“Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.”

“In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider.”

“A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.”

“A fool is wise in his eyes.”
