Domestic peace is given greater value here than ceremonial abundance. The following proverbs show that testing reveals the heart and that the wise accept correction.

Wer Sünde zudeckt, der macht Freundschaft; wer aber die Sache aufrührt, der macht Freunde uneins.
El que cubre la prevaricación, busca amistad: Mas el que reitera la palabra, aparta al amigo.
Celui qui couvre une faute cherche l'amour, Et celui qui la rappelle dans ses discours divise les amis.
Chi copre il fallo procaccia amicizia; Ma chi lo ridice disunisce gli amici
Aquele que encobre a transgressão busca a amizade, mas o que revolve o assunto separa os maiores amigos.
包容過錯的,尋求友愛; 喋喋不休的,離間密友。
