- A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
- The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, But the mouth of fools spouts folly.
- The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.
- A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit.
- A fool rejects his father's discipline, But he who regards reproof is sensible.
