• Always aspire to acquire the desire you admire and don’t retire when people conspire because you have a messiah who will make their plans expire
• If you are wise you are wise for yourself but if you scoff you will bear it alone
• A wise man keepeth is mouth but the foolish runs his mouth upwards
• Never give up it’s not over if you give up then it’s over
• The strength of a man lies in the power of his thought
• He who does work on his land will not be short of bread; but he who goes after foolish men is without sense
• The way of the foolish man seems right to him? But the wise man gives ear to suggestions
• A foolish man let his trouble be openly seen, but a sharp man keeps shame a secret
• There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again
• A sharp man keeps back his knowledge; but the heart of the foolish man makes clearer foolish thoughts
• The locusts have no king but they all go out in bands
• The wise will have glory for their heritage, but shame will be the reward of the foolish
• A man of wealth who is cruel to the poor is like a violent man causing destruction of food
• Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are not straight
• Like a loud-voiced lion and a wandering bear is an evil ruler over a poor people
• He whose ways are upright will be safe, but sudden will be the fall of him whose ways are twisted
• By ploughing his land a man will have bread in full measure; but he who goes after good for nothing persons will be poor enough
• A man of good faith will have great blessing, but one attempting to get wealth quickly will not go free from punishment
• It is not good to have respect for a mans position for a man will do wrong for a bit of bread
• He whose faith is in himself is foolish, but everyone walking wisely will be safe
• Men of pride are the cause of violent act in a town, but by wise men wrath is turned away
• Men of blood are haters of the good man, evil-doers go after his soul
• A foolish man lets out all his wrath, but a wise man keeps it back quietly
• When two elephants fight it is the grasses that suffers it
• No matter how the rain falls it does not wash away the leopards spot
