Nuggets of Wisdom

Young people who obey the law are intelligent. Those who make friends with good-for-nothings are a disgrace to their parents.

If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept correction, you will be honored

A person who is patient is better than a brave soldier. If you can control your anger, you can win any battle

Someone in authority who oppresses poor people is like a driving rain that destroys the crops

A reprimand goes deeper into one who has understanding and a teachable spirit than a hundred lashes into a fool

Laziness makes people fall asleep, and an idle person will go hungry

Selfishness only causes trouble. You are much better off to trust the LORD.

If you do not accept good teaching, you will destroy yourself. If you accept good advice, it will help you to do well.
