1 A good reputation is better than expensive perfume;
and the day you die is better than the day you are born.
5 It is better to have wise people reprimand you than to have
stupid people sing your praises.
6 When a fool laughs, it is like thorns crackling in a fire. It
doesn't mean a thing.
7 When a wise man cheats someone, he is acting like a fool.
If you take a bribe, you ruin your character.
8 The end of something is better than its beginning.
Patience is beter than pride.
9 Keep your temper under control; it is foolish to harbor a grudge.
11 Everyone who lives ought to be wise; it is as good as receiving
an inheritance and will give you as much security as money can.
Wisdom keeps you safe----this is the advantage of knowledge.
19 Wisdom does moe for a person than ten rulers can do for a city.
20 There is no one on earth who does what is right all the time and
never makes a mistake.
