1. Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
2. Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3. A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4. Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
