The things that your eyes have seen, do not offer hastily in a quarrel, lest afterward you may not be able to make amends, when you have dishonored your friend.
Argue your case with your friend, and do not reveal the secret to an outsider,
lest perhaps he may insult you, when he has heard it, and he might not cease to reproach you. Grace and friendship free a man; preserve these for yourself, lest you fall under reproach.
Whoever speaks a word at an opportune time is like apples of gold on beds of silver.
Whoever reproves the wise and obedient ear is like an earring of gold with a shining pearl.
