A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

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

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
