- Death and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are the eyes of man.
- The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but man is tested by the praise he receives.
- Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding him like grain with a pestle, you will not remove his folly from him.
- Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;
- for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.

- When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
- the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.
- You will have plenty of goats' milk to feed you and your family and to nourish your servant girls.
