Do not like sleep, lest you become poor; Open your eyes, you will be full of bread.
Open your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of science.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of science; Insane people despise wisdom and education.
Let the wise man listen, and he will increase his knowledge, and he who is intelligent will acquire skill.
A deferred hope makes the heart sick, But a fulfilled desire is a tree of life.
The sloth says: There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!
The lazy soul has desires it cannot satisfy; But the soul of diligent men will be satisfied.
