“A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.
The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing, but the mouth of a fool belches out foolishness.
Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline; whoever learns from correction is wise.
There is treasure in the house of the godly; but the earnings of the wicked bring trouble.
The lips of the wise give good advice; the heart of a fool has none to give. ” (Proverbs 15: 17, NLT)
“Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!” (Proverbs 15:23, NLT)
