A noble, ruler, judge shall be glorified, but nothing is greater than fearing the Lord.

An intelligent servant shall rise, and a foolish servant will not complain.

Do not be shrewd to perform your desires, and do not extol yourself in your hour of difficulty.

Superior is a person who toils and accumulates treasure, to one who is extolled but lacks allotment.

Son, in humility give honor to your soul, and it will give you the taste and respect that you lost.

Him who errs against his own soul—who will vindicate? And who will give repute to him who devalues his own life?
