The Lord doesn’t respond to the wicked, but he’s moved to answer the prayers of the righteous.

Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side and sets the record straight.

A person who plans evil will get a reputation as a troublemaker.

A greedy and grasping person destroys community; those who refuse to exploit live and let live.

Even a fool who remains silent is considered wise, and the one who holds his tongue is deemed discerning.

An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth; fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies.
