| Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. | Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. |
| Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. | Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. |
| Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. | He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. |
