1. When you hear that a rejected man embraced a piece of wood, and it bore fruit in his hands, believe it!
And when you hear that a deprived man came upon water to drink, and drowned in it, verify it!

2. If wealth could be obtained through ruses, you would find me clinging to the stars of the horizons.
But the one destined for poverty is denied wealth - two opposites, how can they converge?

3. The most deserving of worry among God's creations is a man of ambition worn down by meager sustenance.
And the misery of the wise and the pleasant life of the fool are proof of God's decree and wisdom.

4. Indeed, the one granted affluence who earns no reward or praise is not successful.
Perseverance brings closer every distant matter, and perseverance opens every closed door.
