There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again.

A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.

Give a foolish man a foolish answer, or he will seem wise to himself.

With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him;

He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life.

There is a generation who seem to themselves to be free from sin, but are not washed from their unclean ways.
