13 Happiness makes a person smile.But sadness breaks a person’s spirit.
14 Smart people want more knowledge.But a foolish person just wants more foolishness.
15 Every day is hard for those who suffer.But a happy heart makes it like a continual feast.
16 It is better to be poor and respect the Lordthan to be wealthy and have much trouble.
17 It is better to eat vegetables with those who love youthan to eat meat with those who hate you.
18 A person who quickly gets angry causes trouble.But a person who controls his temper stops a quarrel.
19 A lazy person’s life is as difficult as walking through a patch of thorns.But an honest person’s life is as easy as walking down a smooth highway.
