Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you yourself also be like him.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own estimation.

Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no gossip, contention ceases.

The one who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

If a wise person goes to court with a foolish person, there is no peace whether he is angry or laughs.

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

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.

Likewise, know that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, you will have a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

The eye that mocks at a father and despises obeying a mother – the ravens of the valley will peck it out and the young vultures will eat it.

Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not enter your brother’s house in the day of your disaster; a neighbor nearby is better than a brother far away.
