Proverbs 25:23-28

23 A north wind brings stormy weather, and a gossipy tongue stormy looks.

24 Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.

25 Like a cool drink of water when you're worn out and weary is a letter from a long-lost friend.

26 A good person who gives in to a bad person is a muddied spring, a polluted well.

27 It's not smart to stuff yourself with sweets, nor is glory piled on glory good for you.

28 A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.
