PROVERBS 18:1 [NLT] Unfriendly people only care about themselves; They lash out at common sense.

PROVERBS 17:1 [NLT] Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with -feasting- and conflict.

PROVERBS 15: 1-4 [NLT] A gentle answer deflects anger, but hard words make tempers flare. The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing, but the mouth of a fool belches out foolishness, The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping his eyes on both the evil and the good. Gentle words are a tree of life, a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

PROVERBS 14:23 - 25 [NLT] Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty! Wealth is a crown for the wise, the effort of fools yield only foolishness. A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is a traitor.

PROVERBS 12:1 (NLT) To learn you must love discipline, It is stupid to hate correction.
