Nuggets of Wisdom

The one who returns evil for good

The words of wise men heard in quietness are better than the shouting of one who rules among fools

Do not send a lazy person with a message. He will bring you pain, like the taste of bitter wine, or like smoke in your eyes.

Watch your words and be careful what you say, and you’ll be surprised by how few troubles you’ll have.

Don’t boast in the presence of a king or promote yourself by taking a seat at the head table and pretending that you’re someone important.

Without guidance from God, law and order disappear, but God blesses everyone who obeys his Law.

Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.

Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart
