5. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

Tell people how you feel, don't do it in a mean why, but sometimes telling someone they are in the wrong is the best way to show you love them.

6. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

See above. If someone is truly your friend, the fact they told you something or hurt you in some way is not going to stick around with you forever. Friends forgive and forget. An Enemy is going to kiss and try to get you to not realize what they are doing. Then you get stabbed in the back and end up far worse off.

11. Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.

By making sure your reputation is above reproach, your family and friends always know how to protect your back.
