Good people may punish me and rebuke me in kindness, but I will never accept honor from evil people, because I am always praying against their evil deeds.

Never correct conceited people; they will hate you for it. But if you correct the wise, they will respect you.

If you refuse good advice, you are asking for trouble; follow it and you are safe.

If you pay attention when you are corrected, you are wise.

If you refuse to learn, you are hurting yourself. If you accept correction, you will become wiser.

An intelligent person learns more from one rebuke than a fool learns from being beaten a hundred times.

Friends mean well, even when they hurt you. But when an enemy puts his arm around your shoulder---watch out!

I rebuke and punish all whom I love. Be in earnest, then, and turn from your sins.

They talk about me in the streets, and drunkards make up songs about me.
