A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom

A half-truth is a whole lie

Do not put your spoon into the pot which does not boil for you

Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue

Gossip needs no carriage

Great men are not always wise

Words must be weighed, not counted

You may laugh at a friend's roof; don't laugh at his sleeping accomodation
