A wise man will hear and will increase learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsel

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge, but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is to be deceived.

Give me understanding and I shall keep Thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show his works out of good conduct and with the meekness of wisdom.

He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow, but a prating fool shall fall.

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of trouble.

He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life, but he that openeth wide his lips shall meet destruction.

In all labor there is profit, but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool will swallow himself up;

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for blows.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
