A good reputation is better than expensive perfume;and the you die is better than the day you are born. It is better to go to a home where there is mourning than to one where there is a party, because the living should always remind themselves that death is waiting for us all. Sorrow is better than laughter; it may sadden your face, but it sharpens your understanding. Someone is always thinking about happiness is a fool. A wise person think about death. It is better to have wise people reprimand you than to have stupid people sing your praises . When a fool laughs, it is like thorn cracking in fire. It doesn't mean a thing. You may be wise, but if you cheat someone, you are acting like a fool. If you take a bribe, you ruin your character.
