5 Better to be criticized by a wise personthan to be praised by a fool.
6 A fool’s laughter is quickly gone,like thorns crackling in a fire.This also is meaningless.
7 Extortion turns wise people into fools,and bribes corrupt the heart.
8 Finishing is better than starting.Patience is better than pride.
9 Control your temper,for anger labels you a fool.
10 Don’t long for “the good old days.”This is not wise.
11 Wisdom is even better when you have money.Both are a benefit as you go through life.
