Löydetty 326 Tulokset: Wise Counsel

• Free men will be at the service of a wise servant, and a man of understanding will not grumble. (Ecclesiasticus 11, 25)

• A wise man is cautious in everything, and in days of sin he guards against wrongdoing. (Ecclesiasticus 19, 27)

• But the knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, nor is there prudence where sinners take counsel. (Ecclesiasticus 20, 22)

• There is a reproof which is not timely; and there is a man who keeps silent but is wise. (Ecclesiasticus 21, 1)

• There is one who by keeping silent is found wise, while another is detested for being too talkative. (Ecclesiasticus 21, 5)

• A wise man will be silent until the right moment, but a braggart and fool goes beyond the right moment. (Ecclesiasticus 21, 7)

• The wise man makes himself beloved through his words, but the courtesies of fools are wasted. (Ecclesiasticus 21, 13)

• Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise; like a muzzle on the mouth they avert reproofs. (Ecclesiasticus 21, 29)

• The knowledge of a wise man will increase like a flood, and his counsel like a flowing spring. (Ecclesiasticus 22, 13)

• When a man of understanding hears a wise saying, he will praise it and add to it; when a reveler hears it, he dislikes it and casts it behind his back. (Ecclesiasticus 22, 15)

• The mind of fools is in their mouth, but the mouth of wise men is in their mind. (Ecclesiasticus 22, 26)

• A wooden beam firmly bonded into a building will not be torn loose by an earthquake; so the mind firmly fixed on a reasonable counsel will not be afraid in a crisis. (Ecclesiasticus 23, 16)
