From the library
The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best.
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
The difficulty in governing the people arises from their having much knowledge. He who (tries to) govern a state by his wisdom is a scourge to it; while he who does not (try to) do so is a blessing.
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
