6 Old people are distinguished by grandchildren;children take pride in their parents.
7 We don’t expect eloquence from fools,nor do we expect lies from our leaders.
8 Receiving a gift is like getting a rare gemstone;any way you look at it, you see beauty refracted.
9 Overlook an offense and bond a friendship;fasten on to a slight and—good-bye, friend!
10 A quiet rebuke to a person of good sensedoes more than a whack on the head of a fool.
11 Criminals out looking for nothing but troublewon’t have to wait long—they’ll meet it coming and going!
12 Better to meet a grizzly robbed of her cubsthan a fool hellbent on folly.
