13 A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face;a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day.
14 An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth;fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies.
15 A miserable heart means a miserable life;a cheerful heart fills the day with song.
16 A simple life in the Fear-of-Godis better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.
17 Better a bread crust shared in lovethan a slab of prime rib served in hate.
18 Hot tempers start fights;a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace.
19 The path of lazy people is overgrown with briers;the diligent walk down a smooth road.
