He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
