Nuggets of Wisdom

1 For people who hate discipline and only get more stubborn, There'll come a day when life tumbles in and they break, but by then it'll be too late to help them.

26 To trust a lazy person to get a job done will be as irritating as smoke in your eyes— as enjoyable as a toothache!

23 Doing wrong is fun for a fool, but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible.

20 The words of a good person are like pure silver, but the thoughts of an evil person are almost worthless.

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.
