Advice, Book of Proverbs

Of what use is money in the hands of fools when they have no heart to acquire wisdom?

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 16

[17:16] The exhortation to acquire or purchase wisdom is common in Proverbs. Fools misunderstand the metaphor, assuming they can buy it with money. Their very misunderstanding shows they have no “heart” = mind, understanding. Money in the hand is no good without such a “heart” to store it in.

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

A bribe seems a charm to its user; at every turn it brings success.
