| Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their parents. | Children’s children are the crown of old men, And the glory of children is their father. |
| Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler. | Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince. |
| One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend. | He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends. |
| A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity. | A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. |
| A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. | A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. |
| Even fools who keep silent are considered wise; when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent. | Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive. |
