Proverbs 19:8

8 A person who gains sense loves himself. One who guards understanding finds something good.

Proverbs 19:8 In-Context

6 Many try to win the kindness of a generous person, and everyone is a friend to a person who gives gifts.
7 The entire family of a poor person hates him. How much more do his friends keep their distance from him! When he chases them with words, they are gone.
8 A person who gains sense loves himself. One who guards understanding finds something good.
9 A lying witness will not go unpunished. One who tells lies will die.
10 Luxury does not fit a fool, much less a slave ruling princes.
