- 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. - Commit your actions to the Lord,
and your plans will succeed. - Better to have little, with godliness,
than to be rich and dishonest. - We can make our plans,
but the Lord determines our steps. - How much better to get wisdom than gold,
and good judgment than silver! - Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful. - Kind words are like honey—
sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. - A troublemaker plants seeds of strife;
gossip separates the best of friends. - Better to be patient than powerful;
better to have self-control than to conquer a city. - Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
parents are the pride of their children. - Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool;
even less are lies fitting for a ruler. - Love prospers when a fault is forgiven,
but dwelling on it separates close friends. - A friend is always loyal,
and a brother is born to help in time of need. - A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. - Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. - Fools have no interest in understanding;
they only want to air their own opinions. - Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels;
they are asking for a beating. - Rumors are dainty morsels
that sink deep into one’s heart. - The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe. - The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
they imagine it to be a high wall of safety. - Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor.
