✧1Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Copy✧2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth— a stranger, and not your own lips. Copy✧3A stone is heavy and sand is a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both. Copy✧4Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy? Copy✧5Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed. Copy✧6The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Copy✧7The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet. Copy✧8Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home. Copy✧9Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.
