5 A wise youth makes hay while the sun shines, but what a shame to see a lad who sleeps away his hour of opportunity.

19 You will say the wrong thing if you talk too much— so be sensible and watch what you say.

4 Laziness leads to poverty; hard work makes you rich.

14 Leadership gains authority and respect when the voiceless poor are treated fairly.

1 Son, if you endorse a note for someone you hardly know, guaranteeing his debt, you are in serious trouble

7 Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And with your wisdom, develop common sense and good judgment.
