| Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children. | Children’s children are the crown of old men, And the glory of children is their father. |
| Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler. | Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince. |
| Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. | He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends. |
| A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. | A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. |
| A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. | A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. |
| Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. | Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive. |
