  17. He who is quickly angry will do what is foolish, but the man of good sense will have quiet.
  18. Foolish behaviour is the heritage of the simple, but men of good sense are crowned with knowledge.
  19. The knees of the evil are bent before the good; and sinners go down in the dust at the doors of the upright.
