Nuggets of Wisdom

14 A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.

4 Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim

2 Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise; fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense.

1 A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.

4 Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.

28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.

27 Worshiping the LORD will make you live longer, but those who are evil will be gone before their time.
