1 Any who love knowledge want to be told when they are wrong. It is stupid to hate being corrected.

14 The teachings of the wise are a fountain of life; they will help you escape when your life is in danger.

8 Why is a clever person wise? Because he knows what to do. Why is a stupid person foolish? Because he only thinks he knows.

12 What you think is the right road may lead to death.

24 An intelligent person aims at wise action, but a fool starts off in many directions.

15 Intelligent people are always eager and ready to learn.

20 If you listen to advice and are willing to learn, one day you will be wise.

27 My child, when you stop learning, you will soon neglect what you already know.

3 Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later.

5 Being wise is better than being strong; yes, knowledge is more important than strength. 6 After all, you must make careful plans before you fight a battle, and the more good advice you get, the more likely you are to win.

9 Perfume and fragrant oils make you feel happier, but trouble shatters your peace of mind.

12 Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later.
