Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry:

The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

A prudent man sees danger, and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.

One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.

The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
