The fear of the Lord gives long life, but the years of the evil-doer will be cut short.

He who does work on his land will not be short of bread; but he who goes after foolish men is without sense.

Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.

Whoso is slow to anger is of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly.

Better slighted, and have a servant, than to honour oneself, and come short of bread.

Keep in mind that wisdom is like that for your soul; if you find it, there will be a future for you, and what you hope for won't be cut short.
