Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth and turmoil with it.

Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

Better is a person of humble standing who nevertheless has a servant, than one who pretends to be somebody important yet has no food.

It is better for a person to meet a mother bear being robbed of her cubs, than to encounter a fool in his folly.
