Advice, Book of Proverbs


The wicked pursue only rebellion, and a merciless messenger is sent against them.

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 11

[17:11] The irony is that such people will meet up with what they so energetically pursue—in the form of an unrelenting emissary sent to them.

Attraction, Rachel Nichols as Shana 'Scarlett' O'Hara from G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)


Ripcord: Look, I think you and me got off on the wrong foot. See, I'm attracted to you. And you, you're attracted to me. And him, the damn Zen master, he creeps me out. What I'm trying to say is...
Scarlett: We're attracted to each other.
Ripcord: Thank you!
Scarlett: That's what you're saying. It's not what I'm saying.
Ripcord: It's not. So, what are you saying?
Scarlett: Attraction is an emotion. Emotions are not based on science. And if you can't quantify or prove that something exists, well, then in my mind, it doesn't.
Ripcord: Okay. I'll get back to you on that one.

Advice, Book of Proverbs


A single reprimand does more for a discerning person than a hundred lashes for a fool.

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 10

[17:10] A wonderful comment on the openness and sensitivity of the wise and the foolish. One type learns from a single word and for the other one hundred blows are not enough.

Advice, Book of Proverbs


Whoever overlooks an offense fosters friendship, but whoever gossips about it separates friends.

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 9

[17:9] A paradox. One finds (love, friend) by concealing (an offense), one loses (a friend) by revealing (a secret). In 10:12 love also covers over a multitude of offenses.
