28. Troublemakers are always causing problems. Their gossip breaks up the closest of friends.

29. Cruel people trick their neighbors and make them do wrong.

30. With a wink of the eye, they plan to trick someone. With a grin, they make plans to hurt their friends.

31. Gray hair is a crown of glory on people who have lived good lives. It is earned by living right.

32. It is better to be patient than to be a strong soldier. It is better to control your anger than to capture a city.
