¹ Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. ² Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips. ³ Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool`s provocation is heavier than both. ⁴ Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? ⁵ Better is open rebuke than hidden love. ⁶ Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. ⁷ One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. ⁸ Like a bird that flees its nest is anyone who flees from home.
