The truly wise man teaches his people, and they benefit from his knowledge.

The wise man is full of blessings; those who see him call him happy.

The wise man will win the confidence of his people; his name will live forever.

My son, test yourself during the course of your life; see what is harmful and avoid it.

For everything does not suit everybody, nor is everyone is satisfied with all things.

Do not be insatiable in every pleasure, or be excessive in what you eat; for overeating leads to sickness and gluttony brings indigestion. Many have died because of gluttony; he who takes care prolongs his life.
