7 It sounds strange for a foolto talk sensibly,but it's even worsefor a ruler to tell lies.
8 A bribe works miracleslike a magic charmthat brings good luck.
9 You will keep your friendsif you forgive them,but you will lose your friendsif you keep talking aboutwhat they did wrong.
10 A sensible personaccepts correction,but you can't beat senseinto a fool.
11 Cruel people want to rebel,and so vicious attackerswill be sent against them.
12 A bear robbed of her cubsis far less dangerousthan a stubborn fool.
13 You will always have troubleif you are mean to thosewho are good to you.
