Extortion turns wise people into fools, and bribes corrupt the heart. - Ecclesiastes 7:7 NLT

“Fools fold their idle hands, leading them to ruin.” And yet, “Better to have one handful with quietness than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.” - Ecclesiastes 4:5-6 NLT

The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense. - Proverbs 12:11 HCSB

The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get. - Proverbs 21:20 NLT
