Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince. | Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler. |
Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. | Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. |
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. | A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. |
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. | A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. |
Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. | Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. |
