Read word by wordIn the day of prosperity, be joyful, but in the day of adversity, consider this: God has made one of these along with the other, so that a man cannot discover anything that will come after him.

Read word by wordWisdom makes the wise man stronger than ten rulers in a city.

Read word by wordFor there is a right time and procedure to every purpose, though a man’s misery weighs heavily upon him.
