“In haste there is regret, but in patience and care there is peace and safety. This means you shouldn’t rush things, because if you rush something you’ll end up doing a poor job and regretting the results. If you take your time, you’re ensuring a good end result and can feel peace in knowing that.”

The fruit of timidity is neither gain nor loss.

It’s better to fix what you have than wait to get what you don’t have.

The envious were created just to be infuriated. This means that there’s no end result to envy other than fury. If you’re feeling envious, you’re only leading yourself down a path to anger.

Be patient and you’ll get what you want.

No crowd ever waited at the gates of patience.

Arrogance is a weed that grows mostly on a dunghill.

Go with the lesser of two evils.

Give your friends your money and your blood, but don’t justify yourself. Your enemies won’t believe it and your friends won’t need it.

Visit rarely, and you will be more loved.

The rope of lies is short. There is only so much leeway you have when you lie. Once that very short rope runs out, you’ll have to face the consequences.

Make distance between you and every dirtiness.

Get together like brothers, but work together like strangers.

Ignorance is the most terrible acquaintance.

A sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to our steps as we walk the tightrope of life.

If you are charitable, you are rich.

Avoid the company of liars, but if you can’t, don’t believe them. This one is pretty straightforward, isn’t it?
