5 It is better to be criticized by a wise manthan to be praised by a foolish person.
6 The laughter of foolish people is useless.It is like heating a pot by burning straw.There is a lot of fire but no heat.
7 Even a wise man will become foolishif he lets money change his thinking.
8 It is better to finish somethingthan to start it.It is better to be patientthan to be proud.
9 Don’t become mad quickly,because getting angry is foolish.
10 Don’t ask, “Why was life better in the ‘good old days’?”It is not wise to ask such questions.
11 Wisdom is as good to have as inheriting property.It helps people see what to do.
