Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

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