Nuggets of Wisdom

Taking the easy way out is the habit of a lazy man, and it will be his downfall.

Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart

If you warn a person who is proud, he will insult you. If you tell a wicked person that he is wrong, he will hurt you.

Keep away from people who talk too much. They will tell everybody about your secrets.

The godly care about the rights of the poor; the wicked don’t care at all.

It is better to be asked to take a higher position than to be told to give your place to someone more important

There’s no use arguing with a fool. He only rages and scoffs, and tempers flare.

Don’t be too fond of sleep; you’ll end up in the poorhouse.
