I can relate, lol
In the Book of Proverbs, it talks naman this:
when two dogs fights, do not get involve, bec both will turn to you.
Same with two friends fighting.
If we interfere, we are wll be eventually accused as the cause, lol
Also, a proverb that says:
do not give pearls to pigs. They just trample it with their feet.
Meaning, what words of wisdom (of the Bible)we gave to people are like pearls, but some trample it and do not accept it.
Proverbs are wise words, that really make us think.
The one you wrote are similar from the Great book.
Very nice proverbs and i like the cloth too
So true Francesca..I guess the proverbs i copied was based on the old scripture.
There are many more we can learn about moral & religious teachings if we read our bible(matagal na akong di nagbabasa at naligaw na landas ko since living here).
I will re-start my reading today. need ko na..~
