Do not give yourself over to sadness or torment yourself with brooding.

Joy of hearth is life to a man; gladness gives him length of days.

Delight your soul and console your heart; chase sorrow far away, for sorrow has destroyed many and never did good to anyone.

Jealousy and anger shorten your life; worry makes you old before time.

A cheerful and kindly person will have a good appetite and enjoy his food.
