Pataje

A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.

A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.

He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.

The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts.

He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
