Nuggets of Wisdom

There are gold and plenty of jewels, but the lips of knowledge are precious gems

Many crave and seek the ruler’s favor, but the wise man waits for justice from the Lord.

Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty

The crooked heart will not prosper; the lying tongue tumbles into trouble

Mean- tempered leaders are like mad dogs; the good-natured are fresh morning dew.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, but it is abomination for fools to depart from evil.

The one who heeds instruction is on the way to life but the one who rejects rebuke goes astray

Anyone is determined to do right will live, but anyone who insists on doing wrong will die.
