A good name is better than a good ointment,
And the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.

A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left.

Watch your step whenever you visit God's house, and come more ready to listen than to offer a fool's sacrifice, since fools never think they're doing evil.

As dead flies cause the perfumer's ointment to stink, so also does a little foolishness to one's reputation of wisdom and honor.
