Where there is wisdom there is life,and where there is evil there is death.Folly is your enemy and so are fools;wisdom is your friend and so are the wise.

Evil is an ungodly master;wisdom is a heavenly liberator.

A diligent ant is more useful than a lazy cow.

A living fool is worth less than a dead hero.

If you debate the wise,no matter how poor,they will hearken to wisdom.If you debate the foolish,no matter how rich,they will mock wisdom.

Wisdom is a mother;proverbs are her offspring.

Nurture a tree today, and it will provide you fruit tomorrow.

A foolish man enjoys the company of prostitutes;a wise man enjoys the company of his wife.The mother of a prudent son will rejoice;the father of a mindless son will groan.

Ignore folly;walk away from it.Pay attention to wisdom;seek it.
