Do
not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.
Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but provocation by a fool is heavier than both.
Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?
Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.
Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home.
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.
The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
Death and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are the eyes of man.
The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but man is tested by the praise he receives.
