- Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of children is their fathers. - Fine speech is not becoming to a fool;
still less is false speech to a prince. - Whoever covers an offense seeks love,
but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. - A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity. - A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
My son, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
