members, friends, social media readers….…pretty much anyone!

refreshed.”

14:17 – “Short-tempered people do foolish things, and schemers are hated.”
14:29 – “People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great
foolishness.”
15:1 – “A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.”
15:23 – “Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the
right time.”

opinions.”
