Fools hate wisdom, even when it is gift-wrapped.
Affliction can save the spirit of
men, even the arrogant and irrational 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,
A violent man
thinks he is right all the time,
Worthless
thoughts must be instantly dismissed
Do not nurse
anger, as it could replace your whole nature.
One who shows
instant indifference to others is ostracizing his own soul.
The minds of men are sometimes
fickle, sureness comes with wisdom.
A wild beast goes
its own way regardless, as do tyrants over men,
Tyrants have
stored up seven future torments for themselves. 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.
Overeating
or heavy drinking, which is worse? Both are damaging.
Gossiping women
are a curse upon family life,
