Day 14 - The mark of a good leader is loyal followers; leadership is nothing without a following

Favorite proverbs today from chapter 14:

The gullible believe anything they're told;
the prudent sift and weigh every word

Foolish dreamers live in a world of illusion;
wise realists plant their feet on the ground.

Hard work always pays off;
mere talk puts no bread on the table.

The mark of a good leader is loyal followers;
leadership is nothing without a following.

Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding;
a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity

A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones. NIV

Diligent work gets a warm commendation;
shiftless work earns an angry rebuke.

Proverbs 14 MSG (unless indicated otherwise)
