Rabbi Ben Azai

Despise not any man, and do not spurn anything; for there is no man that has not his hour, nor is there anything that has not its place.

Give your tongue more holiday than your hands or eyes.

Go down the ladder when thou marriest a wife; go up when thou choosest a friend.

If a word be worth one shekel, silence is worth two.

If thou hast fear of those who command thee, spare those who obey thee.

There is no man that has not his hour, nor is there anything that has not its place.
