9 The end of a speech is better than the beginning. Patience is better than arrogance.
10 Do not be quickly moved to anger. For anger resides in the sinews of the foolish.
11 You should not say: 'What do you think is the reason that the former times were better than they are now?' For this type of question is foolish.
12 Wisdom with riches is more useful and more advantageous, for those who see the sun.
13 For as wisdom protects, so also does money protect. But learning and wisdom have this much more: that they grant life to one who possesses them.
