Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
