Do not try to be smart when you do your work, do not put on airs when you are in difficulties. Better a hardworking man who has plenty of everything than a pretentious man at loss for a meal. Be modest in your self-esteem and value yourself at your proper worth
Do not desert an old friend; the new one will not be his match. New friend, new wine; when it grows old, you drink it with pleasure. Do not envy the sinner his success, you do not know what turn his career will take. Do not take pleasure in what pleases the godless; remember they will not go unpunished to their grave. Keep your distance from the man who has the power to death and you will not be haunted by the fear of dying. If you approach him, make no false move, or he may take your life.
In prosperity you cannot always tell a true friend, but in adversity you cannot mistake an enemy. When a man is doing well his enemies are sad, when he is doing badly, even a friend will keep his distance.
Happy the man who has not sinned in speech and who need feel no remorse for sins Happy the man whose own soul does not accuse him and who has never given up hope
