Proverbs of a 38 yr old man.

You can find out whether gold is real in a fire. Gold does not burn. And silver does not burn. So then, test silver with heat! Test gold with fire! If you praise a man, then you will test him. Yes, you can test a man’s attitudes. Some people are proud if you praise them. Some people are foolish if you praise them. And humble people will still be humble, even if you praise them.
