Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. | Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children. |
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. | Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler. |
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. | Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. |
A friend loveth 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 merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. | A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. |
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. | Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. |
