BOAST   not   thyself   of   to   morrow;  for  thou  knowest  not  what  a  day  may  bring  forth.

Let  another  man  praise  thee,  and  not  thine  own  mouth;  a  stranger,  and  not  thine  own  lips.

A  stone  is  heavy,  and  the  sand  weighty;  but  a  fool's  wrath  is heavier  than  them  both.

Wrath  is  cruel,and  anger  is outrageous; but  who  is  able  to  stand  before  envy?

Open  rebuke  is  better  than a  secret  love.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are decietful.

The full soul loatheth an honeycomb;but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

As a bird wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

Be wise, and make my heart glad, that i may answer him that reproacheth me.

A prudent man forseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

He that blessth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind,and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

Iron sharpeth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the friut thereof:so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

As in the water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of  man are never satisfied.
