Some Wisdom for Today

Prov. 11:12    Mean-spirited slander is heartless;
quiet discretion accompanies good sense.

  

Prov. 11:17    When you’re kind to others, you help yourself;
when you’re cruel to others, you hurt yourself.

  

Prov. 11:29    Exploit or abuse your family, and end up with a fistful of air;
common sense tells you it’s a stupid way to live.

  

Prov. 12:16    Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly;
the prudent quietly shrug off insults.

  

Prov. 12:19    Truth lasts;
lies are here today, gone tomorrow.

  

Prov. 12:20    Evil scheming distorts the schemer;
peace-planning brings joy to the planner.

  

Prov. 14:3    Frivolous talk provokes a derisive smile;
wise speech evokes nothing but respect.

  

Prov. 14:17    The hotheaded do things they’ll later regret;
the coldhearted get the cold shoulder.

  

Prov. 15:18    Hot tempers start fights;
a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace.

  

Prov. 15:4    Kind words heal and help;
cutting words wound and maim.
