Dlulisela

A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity.

A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. [Prov. 12:25; 15:13, 15.]

He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.

He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding has a cool spirit. [James 1:19.]

Even a fool when he holds his peace is considered wise; when he closes his lips he is esteemed a man of understanding.

BETTER IS a dry morsel with quietness than a house full of feasting [on offered sacrifices] with strife.

The beginning of strife is as when water first trickles [from a crack in a dam]; therefore stop contention before it becomes worse and quarreling breaks out.

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both an abomination [exceedingly disgusting and hateful] to the Lord. [Exod. 23:7; Prov. 24:24; Isa. 5:23.]
