2. Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth—a stranger, not your own lips.
3. A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,but the resentment caused by a fool is even heavier.
4. Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood,but jealousy is even more dangerous.
5. An open rebukeis better than hidden love!
6. Wounds from a sincere friendare better than many kisses from an enemy.
7. A person who is full refuses honey,but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry.
8. A person who strays from homeis like a bird that strays from its nest.
9. The heartfelt counsel of a friendis as sweet as perfume and incense.
