1. Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what the future day may bring.
2. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth: an outsider, and not your own lips.
3. A stone is weighty, and sand is burdensome; but the wrath of the foolish is heavier than both.
4. Anger holds no mercy, nor does fury when it erupts. And who can bear the assault of one who has been provoked?
5. An open rebuke is better than hidden love.
6. The wounds of a loved one are better than the deceitful kisses of a hateful one.
