Forgiveness

More quotes by Solomon

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The rich is the one that rules over those of little means, and the borrower is servant to the man doing the lending.

In much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

It is better to be poor and walk in integrity than to be stupid and speak lies.

The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to pass over transgression.
