Nuggets of Wisdom

20 If you want to grow in wisdom, spend time with the wise. Walk with the wicked and you'll eventually become just like them.

23 If you work hard at what you do, great abundance will come to you. But merely talking about getting rich while living to only pursue your pleasures brings you face-to-face with poverty.

29 When your heart overflows with understanding you'll be very slow to get angry. But if you have a quick temper, your impatience will be quickly seen by all.

11 By making excuses you'll learn what it means to go without. Poverty will pounce on you like a bandit and move in as your roommate for life.

3 If you are good, you are guided by honesty. People who can't be trusted are destroyed by their own dishonesty.

27 If you are lazy, you will never get what you are after, but if you work hard, you will get a fortune.

1 Any who love knowledge want to be told when they are wrong. It is stupid to hate being corrected.

33 Don't fool yourselves. Bad friends will destroy you.
