- A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare. - Gentle words are a tree of life;
a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. - Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline;
whoever learns from correction is wise. - Better to have little, with fear for the Lord,
than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. - Plans go wrong for lack of advice;
many advisers bring success. - Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;
it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time! - Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom;
humility precedes honor.

Bible verse of the day

Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish.
