Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led

astray by it is not wise.

The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion; whoever

provokes him to anger sins against his own life.

It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a
quarrel.

The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during
harvest and have nothing.

who lacks selfcontrol.
