Nuggets of Wisdom

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high far above evil

The words of wise men heard in quietness are better than the shouting of one who rules among fools

Don’t withhold good from someone who deserves it, when it is in your power to do so

Do not send a lazy person with a message. He will bring you pain, like the taste of bitter wine, or like smoke in your eyes.

Watch your words and be careful what you say, and you’ll be surprised by how few troubles you’ll have.

Whoever goes hunting for what is right and kind finds life itself—glorious life!

Don’t boast in the presence of a king or promote yourself by taking a seat at the head table and pretending that you’re someone important.
