ETTER is a dry morsel with joy, than a house full of victims with strife.
A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and shall divide the inheritance among the brethren.
•
As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord trieth the hearts.
•
He that despiseth the poor, reproacheth his Maker; and he that rejoiceth at another man's ruin, shall not be unpunished.
•
The expectation of him that expecteth, is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.
•
He that concealeth a transgression, seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.
•
A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.
An evil man always seeketh quarrels: but a cruel angel shall be sent against him.
It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly.
•
The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: before he suffereth reproach he forsaketh judgment.
•
What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.
•
He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin.
He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil.
•
A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool.
•
The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
•
Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth.
A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.
