A judge is moved by one who for a long time undergoes wrongs without protest, and by a soft tongue even bone is broken.

A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones.

A quiet mind is the life of the body, but envy is a disease in the bones.

The light of the eyes is a joy to the heart, and good news makes the bones fat.

This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.

Pleasing words are like honey, sweet to the soul and new life to the bones.

A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
