A sterling reputation is better than striking it rich; a gracious spirit is better than money in the bank.
2
The rich and the poor shake hands as equals - God made them both!

A prudent person sees trouble coming and ducks; a simpleton walks in blindly and is clobbered.
4
The payoff for meekness and Fear-of-God is plenty and honor and a satisfying life.
5
The perverse travel a dangerous road, potholed and mud-slick; if you know what's good for you, stay clear of it.

Point your kids in the right direction - when they're old they won't be lost.
