If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge,
he must use more strength,
but wisdom helps one to succeed.

If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place,
for calmness will lay great offenses to rest.

Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a stench;
so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

The words of a wise man’s mouth win him favor,
but the lips of a fool consume him.

He who digs a pit will fall into it,
and a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.
