- The wise in heart will be called understanding, And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.
- Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, But the discipline of fools is folly.
- The heart of the wise instructs his mouth And adds persuasiveness to his lips.
- Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
- There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
