Nuggets of Wisdom

Happy is the man with a level-headed son; sad the mother of a rebel.

Pride leads to arguments; be humble, take advice, and become wise

Stay away from fools, for you won’t learn wise speech there.

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, But perverseness in it breaks the spirit

Haughtiness goes before destruction; humility precedes honor

Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense, but a person with understanding keeps silent.

So I realized that wisdom is better than power. But if you are poor, nobody accepts that you are also wise. People soon forget what you said.

Like a door turning back and forth on its hinges, the lazy person turns over and over in bed
