Nuggets of Wisdom

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.

8 If you have good sense, you will listen and obey; if all you do is talk, you will destroy yourself

11 Just as a dog returns to his vomit, a fool repeats his folly.

5 A wise youth makes hay while the sun shines, but what a shame to see a lad who sleeps away his hour of opportunity.

19 You will say the wrong thing if you talk too much— so be sensible and watch what you say.
