1. Boast not thyself of to-morrow, for thou knowest not what a day will bring forth.
2. Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3. A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavier than them both.
4. Fury is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5. Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
