From the 2006, volume 44, number 1 edition of The Sword and Staff Publication, pg. 2, comes the following proverbs of wisdom (appropriate Scriptures and related articles have been added):

Hope insulates against discouragement and despair (Romans 12:12; Romans 15:13; 2 Thessalonians 2:19).

Repentance is a change of mind that produces a change of life (see definition).

It is only in getting ready to die that we really learn how to live.

People with warm hearts are not as likely to get cold feet.

If you would enhance your image, just remember that you were made in the “image” and “likeness” of God, and live accordingly (Genesis 1:27; Acts 10:38; 1 John 2:6)

Let your word be your bond, and then be bound by your word (Matthew 5:37; James 5:12).

By not wasting your time, you will find that you have more time to get things done.

Living the restrained life produces unrestrained joy, contentment, and happiness (Philippians 4:4; 1 Timothy 6:8; Romans 14:22).

Manners have more to do with what manner of person you are, rather than a set of rules.

Live so close to God that there will be no room for the devil to come between (Genesis 5:22-24; Genesis 6:9).
