Nuggets of Wisdom

21 Many are helped by useful instruction, but fools are killed by their own stupidity.

13 The lazy man won't go out and work. "There might be a lion outside!" he says. 14 He sticks to his bed like a door to its hinges!

2 What you gain by doing evil won't help you at all, but being good can save you from death.

18 He who hides hatred is of lying lips, and he who utters slander is a [self-confident] fool.

17 People who listen when they are corrected will live, but those who will not admit that they are wrong are in danger

12 Hatred stirs old quarrels, but love overlooks insults.

14 The wise get all the knowledge they can, but when fools speak, trouble is not far off.

10 Deceit causes trouble, and foolish talk will bring you to ruin.
