A grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous of another woman, And the scourge of a tongue communicating to all.

Disciplina illius datum Dei est.
As the lamp that shineth upon the holy candlestick, So is the beauty of the face in ripe age.
如同明燈照在聖潔的燈臺上，盛年之時面容的美麗也是如此。

Duæ species difficiles et periculosæ mihi apparuerunt : difficile exuitur negotians a negligentia, et non justificabitur caupo a peccatis labiorum.
For two things my heart is grieved; And for the third anger comes upon me: A man of war that suffers for poverty; And men of understanding that are counted as refuse: One that turns back from righteousness to sin; The Lord will prepare him for the sword.
有兩樣事使我心憂愁，第三樣使我忿怒臨身：勇士因貧窮而落魄；有見識的人被當作糞土；又有人從義轉向罪——主必預備他歸於刀劍之下。
