- Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives;
those who open wide their lips come to ruin. - Wealth is a ransom for a person's life,
but the poor get no threats. - By insolence the heedless make strife,
but wisdom is with those who take advice. - Wealth hastily gotten will dwindle,
but those who gather little by little will increase it. - Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
but the companion of fools suffers harm.
