1. Wise son, glad father;stupid son, sad mother.
2. Ill-gotten gain gets you nowhere;an honest life is immortal.
3. God won’t starve an honest soul,but he frustrates the appetites of the wicked.
4. Sloth makes you poor;diligence brings wealth.
5. Make hay while the sun shines—that’s smart;go fishing during harvest—that’s stupid.
6. Blessings accrue on a good and honest life,but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
7. A good and honest life is a blessed memorial;a wicked life leaves a rotten stench.
