1. A good reputation is better than expensive pleasures. The day someone dies is better than the day they were born.
2. It is better to go to a funeral than to a party, because everyone must die, and the living need to remember this.
3. Sorrow is even better than laughter, because when our face is sad, our heart becomes good.
4. A wise person thinks about death, but a fool thinks only about having a good time.
5. It is better to be criticized by the wise than praised by the foolish.
