Proverbs
The spring of pride is a deceitful snare. Drink from it and, although at first you will be refreshed, it will sit like led in your belly.
A house of greed is like a roller coaster leading to death. Once you board, it is near impossible to get off.
Listen to wisdom; for she cries out from the rooftops, she makes her plea in the streets. Be aware of the harvest, and do not slumber when it is time to reap. For the heart of man is ripe for a season, and his ears attentive for a moment.
Be aware of those that carry the sickness of discontentment, or you too might come down with a cough.
It is fruitless to argue with a man of depraved mind. Your words will fall like drops of water on cement. But find a man seeking and there you will bring water to parched ground.
The veil of bitterness covers a gaping wound, but forgiveness heals the heart. The veil of fear covers shame, but restitution unveils brotherly love. The path of love is like a great river; her strength flows over all obstacles. Those who drink deep are satisfied.
Be cautious of one unable to say "no." Although at first they are a dear friend, in the end you too will fail them.
The tree of obedience rests on a slippery slope. Few are able to reach her, but he who takes hold will enjoy her fruit.
