The eyes of a wise person see things clearly. A person who is foolish lives in darkness. But I finally realized that death catches up with both of them.

Those who make fun of others look for wisdom and don’t find it. But knowledge comes easily to those who understand what is right.

A heart that understands what is right looks for knowledge. But the mouths of foolish people feed on what is foolish.

Being satisfied with what you have is better than always wanting more. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

When you take even a quick look at riches, they are gone. They grow wings and fly away into the sky like an eagle.

Turn my eyes away from things that are worthless. Keep me alive as you have promised.
