1. Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
2. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;a stranger, and not your own lips.
3. A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4. Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming,but who can stand before jealousy?
5. Better is open rebukethan hidden love.
6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend;profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
7. One who is full loathes honey,but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.
8. Like a bird that strays from its nestis a man who strays from his home.
