- Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your parent;
do not go to the house of your kindred in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is nearby
than kindred who are far away. - The clever see danger and hide;
but the simple go on, and suffer for it. - Iron sharpens iron,
and one person sharpens the wits of another. - Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time.
