Nuggets of Wisdom

A fool does not care whether he understands a thing or not; all he wants to do is show how smart he is

The righteous hate false words, but the wicked create disgust and scorn

Don’t speak to fools; they will only ignore your wise words

A violent person misleads his neighbor and leads him on a path that is not good.

A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones

A foolish person is happy when he does wicked things. But a wise person enjoys doing things that are right

The perverse travel a dangerous road, potholed and mud-slick; if you know what’s good for you, stay clear of it

The one with a wise heart is called “discerning,” and speaking sweetly to others makes your teaching even more convincing.
