Nuggets of Wisdom

26 Like a tooth that rots and a leg that totters is a lazy worker to those who sent him.

21 The words of the godly encourage many, but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense.

20 What righteous people have to say is more valuable than silver. The minds of wicked people are worthless.

16 What good people earn goes toward a good life, but evil people use their wages for sin.

14 When you have wisdom, you learn to hold your tongue. But when you talk too much, foolish things soon follow.

13 Wisdom can be found on the lips of people with understanding, but those who lack sense are punished.

11 Violence is a fountain of death that springs from the lips of the wicked, but wisdom is a fountain of life flowing from the lips of the righteous.

31 But the mouth that speaks what is wrong will be stopped.
