Nuggets of Wisdom

17 The first to speak in court sounds right— until the cross-examination begins.

15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out

12 Pride ends in a fall, while humility brings honor.

28 Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.

27 A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered.

25 It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe.

10 Intelligent people accept correction, but you can beat fools a hundred times, and they will still learn nothing.

32 It is better to be patient than to be a strong soldier. Those who control their anger are stronger than those who capture a city.
