| Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children is their parents. | Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children. |
| Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince. | Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler. |
| He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best 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 cheerful heart makes 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, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning. | Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. |
