| Do not wear yourself out in the pursuit of wealth, and cease even to think about it. | Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. |
| When you fix your gaze upon it, it is gone before you realize it. For it suddenly sprouts wings and flies up to the sky like an eagle. | Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. |
|
| My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad. | My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. |
| The father of a good man will rejoice; he who begets a wise son will delight in him. | The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. |
