Nuggets of Wisdom

When you remove corrupt men from the king’s court, his reign will be just and fair.

The Lord laughs at those who laugh at him, but he gives grace to those who are not proud.

Deceit causes trouble, and foolish talk will bring you to ruin.

It's better to be ordinary and have only one servant than to think you are somebody and starve to death.

Arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected but a meek and humble spirit will add to your honor.

29 There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing: 30 a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing; 31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king secure against revolt.

24 Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: 25 Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer; 26 hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags; 27 locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks; 28 a lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings' palaces.

21 Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up: 22 a servant who becomes king, a godless fool who gets plenty to eat, 23 a contemptible woman who gets married, and a servant who displaces her mistress.
