Getting involved in an argument that is none of your business is like going down the street and grabbing a dog by the ears.
A man who misleads someone and then claims that he was only joking is like a mad man playing with a deadly weapon.
Without wood, fire goes out; without gossip, quarrelling stops.
Charcoal keeps embers glowing, wood keeps the fire burning, and troublemakers keep argument alive.
Gossip is so tasty! How we love to swallow it!
Insincere talk that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glaze on a cheap clay pot.
A hypocrite hides his hate behind his flattering words. They may sound fine, but don’t believe him, because his heart is filled to the brim with hate. He may disguise his hatred, but everyone will see the evil things he does.
People who set traps for others get caught themselves. People who start landslides get crushed.
You have to hate someone to want to hurt him with lies. Insincere talk brings nothing but ruin.
