• Quarrel not, where thou thyself art not concerned; leave judgement of the offender to others. (Ecclesiasticus 11, 9)

• It goes ill with the man who spends all his time courting the wicked, and alms gives none; does not the most High himself treat sinners as his enemies, never sparing them till they repent? (Ecclesiasticus 12, 3)

• This false friend will be thy companion for an hour, then, if thou art for altering thy course, he will not hear of it; (Ecclesiasticus 12, 14)

• If thou hast favours to bestow, thy rich friend will make use of thee; if none, he bids thee farewell; (Ecclesiasticus 13, 5)

• Affable though he should be, treat him never familiarly; all his friendly talk is but a lure to drag thy secrets out of thee. (Ecclesiasticus 13, 14)
