He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?”

A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.

nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.

He told her all his heart and said to her, “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me and I will become weak, and be like any other man.”
