13 Don't loan money to a strangerunless you are given somethingto guarantee payment.
14 A loud greetingearly in the morningis the same as a curse.
15 The steady dripping of rainand the nagging of a wifeare one and the same.
16 It's easier to catch the windor hold olive oil in your handthan to stop a nagging wife.
17 Just as iron sharpens iron,friends sharpen the mindsof each other.
18 Take care of a tree,and you will eat its fruit;look after your master,and you will be praised.
19 You see your face in a mirrorand your thoughtsin the minds of others.
