| Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince. | Fine words are not becoming to a fool, and much less are false words to a noble. |
| He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends. | One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship, but he who divulges it separates good friends. |
| A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. | A true friend is one at all times, and a brother is born to render help in time of need. |
| A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. | A cheerful heart is excellent medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. |
| Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive. | Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent. |
