| Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but the one who hates correction is stupid. | Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. |
| A fool is quick to show his anger, but a prudent man ignores an insult. | A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. |

| Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but those who counsel peace have joy. | Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. |
| The Lord abhors lying lips, but he delights in those who are truthful. | Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight. |
| Authority will be granted to the diligent, but the lazy will be enslaved. | The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. |
| Anxiety in the human heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad. | Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. |
