Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses.

Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.

A person without self control is like a city with broken down walls.

When Ahab got home, he told Jezebel everything Elijah had done, including the way he had killed all the prophets of Baal.So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah:“ May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you just as you killed them.”

Saul boiled with rage at Jonathan.“ You stupid son of a whore!” he swore at him.“ Do you think I don’t know that you want him to be king in your place, shaming yourself and your mother?As long as that son of Jesse is alive, you’ll never be king. Now go and get him so I can kill him!”“ But why should he be put to death?” Jonathan asked his father.“ What has he done?”Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan, intending to kill him. So at last Jonathan realized that his father was really determined to kill David.Jonathan left the table in fierce anger and refused to eat on that second day of the festival, for he was crushed by his father’s shameful behavior toward David.

Discretion is a life giving fountain to those who possess it, but discipline is wasted on fools.

Wisdom is enshrined in an understanding heart; wisdom is not found among fools.
