A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
