| Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. | Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their parents. |
| Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. | Fine words are not becoming to a fool, and much less are false words to a noble. |
|
| He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. | One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship, but he who divulges it separates good friends. |
| A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. | A true friend is one at all times, and a brother is born to render help in time of need. |
| A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. | A cheerful heart is excellent medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. |
| Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. | Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent. |
