Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
