For where envy and selfish ambition are, there is instability and every evil deed.

Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm.

Make no friendship with a man who is given to anger, and thou shall not go with a wrathful man,

[As] coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to inflame strife.
