โMelior est pauper et sufficiens sibi quam gloriosus et indigens pane.โ
โHe that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.โ
โBetter to be lightly esteemed yet have a servant, than to be self-important but lack food.โ
โBetter is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.โ
โBetter is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, Than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread.โ

5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
