Nuggets of Wisdom

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.

29 The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity, but it destroys the wicked.

26 Never let a fool do your work for you;it will be like vinegar on your teeth or smoke in your eyes.

17 Those who are short-tempered can be stupid, and those who are unfair are hated.

25 Disaster strikes like a cyclone and the wicked are whirled away. But the good man has a strong anchor.
