23 You can persuade othersif you are wiseand speak sensibly.
24 Kind words are like honey—they cheer you upand make you feel strong.
25 Sometimes what seems rightis really a road to death.
26 The hungrier you are,the harder you work.
27 Worthless people plan trouble.Even their words burnlike a flaming fire.
28 Gossip is no good!It causes hard feelingsand comes between friends.
29 Don't trust violent people.They will mislead youto do the wrong thing.
