| Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise. | Through overconfidence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel. |

| Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. | Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life. |
| Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. | One who walks with wise people will be wise, But a companion of fools will suffer harm. |
