My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

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

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

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

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
