In multitudine populi dignitas regis: et in paucitate plebis ignominia principis.
29 ʻOku poto lahi ia ʻaia ʻoku fakatuotuai ʻene ʻita: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻoho vave hono loto ʻoku fakahikihiki ʻe ia ʻae vale.
Qui patiens est, multa gubernatur prudentia: qui autem impatiens est, exaltat stultitiam suam.

Vita carnium, sanitas cordis: putredo ossium, invidia.
