There are four things on earth that are small, but they are exceedingly wise:

but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they ambush their own lives!

There are three things that are magnificent in their step, four things that move about magnificently:

“How long will you simpletons love naiveté? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

All the relatives of a poor person hate him; how much more do his friends avoid him – he pursues them with words, but they do not respond.
