Fools hate wisdom, even when it is gift-wrapped.

Affliction can save the spirit of men, even the arrogant and irrational
    bringing them low so that they may gain understanding.

Meditation upon spiritual things slows down a hasty mind.

Anger subsides when one pauses for thought.

While old men reminisce about much that is futile,
Young men must learn to avoid making the same mistakes.

A violent man thinks he is right all the time,
thinking only of the injury he can inflict and throwing caution to the winds.

Worthless thoughts must be instantly dismissed
and replaced with thoughts that are beneficial.

Do not nurse anger, as it could replace your whole nature.
Impetuous actions cause regret, and expose a careless mind.

One who shows instant indifference to others is ostracizing his own soul.
It reveals in him a total absence of love.

The minds of men are sometimes fickle, sureness comes with wisdom.
Stubborn
persistence in error hardens the heart until there is no healing.

A wild beast goes its own way regardless, as do tyrants over men,
but tyrants protect themselves with great cunning.

Tyrants have stored up seven future torments for themselves.
They will be caught while still alive.

A calm spirit at all times is a desirable estate.

Do good to one's enemy to defeat evil and make him feel a burning sense of shame.
This is putting "fiery coals" upon his head.

Overeating or heavy drinking, which is worse?  Both are damaging.
Moderation is the discipline of a sound mind.

Gossiping women are a curse upon family life,
only public humiliation and exposure will rid you of them.
