Proverbs 17 and 18

Proverbs 17:
17,3:  The crucible for silver, and the furnace for gold, but the tester of hearts is the Lord
17, 9:  He who covers up a misdeed fosters friendship, but he who gossips about it separates friends.
17, 14:  The start of strife is like the opening of a dam; therefore, check a quarrel before it begins!
17, 17:  He who is a friend is always a friend, and a brother is born for the time of stress.
17, 22:  A joyful heart is the health of the body, but a depressed spirit dries up the bones.
17, 24:  The man of intelligence fixes his gaze on wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
17, 28:  Even a fool, if he keeps silent, is considered wise; if he closes his lips, intelligent.

Proverbs 18:
18, 10:  The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the just man runs to it and is safe.
18, 12:  Before his downfall a man's heart is haughty, but humility goes before honors.
18, 13:  He who answers before he hears - his is the folly and the shame.
18, 15:  The mind of the intelligent gains knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
18, 16:  A man's gift clears the way for him, and gains him access to great men.
18, 19:  A brother is a better defense than a strong city, and a friend is like the bars of a castle.
18, 24:  Some friends bring ruin on us, but a true friend is more loyal than a brother.

L3:  He who is late to work too many days in a row, loses his job.  (aka - get moving!)
