9. A little fire burns up a great deal of corn.A rich man has no need of character.Admission by the defendant is worth a hundred witnesses.An advantage of poverty: your relatives gain nothing by your death.Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.God did not create woman from man's head, that he should command her, nor from his feet, that she should be his slave, but rather from his side, that she should be near his heart.

10. The kind man feeds his cat before sitting down to dinner.The more you add, the worse it gets.The place honors not the man; it is the man who honors the place.These three are the marks of a Jew--a tender heart, self-respect, and charity.Time heals old pain, while it creates new ones.Time is a great healer.Who seeks more than he needs hinders himself from enjoying what he has.

11. Opinions founded on prejudice are always sustained with the greatest violence.Promise little and do much.Rivalry of scholars advances wisdom.Silence is a fence around wisdom.Teach thy tongue to say, "I do not know."
11
12. If a word be worth one shekel, silence is worth two.Make not a fence more expensive or more important than the thing that is fenced.

18. A bad compromise is better than a good lawsuit.A bad workman never finds a good tool.A beggar is never out of his road.A bellyful is a bellyful.A bellyful of gluttony will never study willingly.A blind hen can sometimes find her corn.A brain is worth little without a tongue.A cake and a bad custom ought to be broken.A cake eaten in peace, is worth two in trouble.
18
19. A civil denial is better than a rude grant.A civil question deserves a civil answer.A clear conscience is a good pillow.A colt you may break, but an old horse you never can.A cow does not know what her tail is worth until she has lost it.A cow from afar gives plenty of milk.A crooked log makes a good fire.
19
20. A dead man has neither relations nor friends.A dead mouse feels no cold.A dealer in onions is a good judge of scallions.A dog may look at a bishop.A door must either be open or shut.A drowning man clings to a blade of grass.A fair promise binds a fool.A favor ill placed is great waste.A fence between makes love more keen.A fine cage won't feed the bird.
20
21. It is not enough to run; one must start in time.It is not the big oxen that do the best day's work.It is not the burden but the over-burden that kills the beast.It is only idle people who can find time for everything.It is only the bashful that lose.It is the master-wheel that makes the mill go round.It is the sauce that makes the fish edible.It is the tone that makes the music.It is too late for the bird to scream when it is caught.
