1. Do not boast about tomorrow,for you do not know what any day may bring forth.
2. Let another praise you, not your own mouth;a stranger, not your own lips.
3. Stone is heavy, and sand a burden,but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4. Anger is cruel, and wrath overwhelming,but before jealousy who can stand?
5. Better is an open rebukethan a love that remains hidden.
6. Trustworthy are the blows of a friend,dangerous, the kisses of an enemy.
7. One who is full spurns honey;but to the hungry, any bitter thing is sweet.
8. Like a bird far from the nestso is anyone far from home.
