1. WINE IS a mocker, strong drink a riotous brawler; and whoever errs or reels because of it is not wise. [Prov. 23:29, 30; Isa. 28:7; Hos. 4:11.]
2. The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger or angers himself against him sins against his own life.
3. It is an honor for a man to cease from strife and keep aloof from it, but every fool will quarrel.
4. The sluggard does not plow when winter sets in; therefore he begs in harvest and has nothing.
