Proverbs 15:13-18 The Message (MSG)

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.
