And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm?

Better one handful with rest than two handfuls with effort and a pursuit of the wind.

I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to a man’s jealousy of his friend. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer pays attention to warnings.
