To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction. | Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. |
A fool is quick-tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted. | A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. |

Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil; joy fills hearts that are planning peace! | Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. |
The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth. | Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight. |
Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave. | The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. |
Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. | Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. |
