5 Open criticism is better than unexpressed love. Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Wounds made by a friend are intended to help, but an enemy's kisses are too much to bear. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.
