Robert Frost on Education

Robert Frost "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."

Proverbs
1:5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
1:6 To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles.
3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
3:35 The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
6:6 Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,
8:33 Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it.
9:8 Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
9:12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone."
10:1 A wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his moth
10:5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.
10:8 The wise in heart will receive commands, But a prating fool will fall.
10:10 He who winks with the eye causes trouble, But a prating fool will fall.
10:14 Wise people store up knowledge, But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
10:19 In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.
12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.
12:16 A fool's wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.
12:18 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
13:1 A wise son heeds his father's instruction, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
14:3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise will preserve them.
14:16 A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.
15:2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
15:5 A fool despises his father's instruction, But he who receives correction is prudent.
15:7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, But the heart of the fool does not do so.
15:12 A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, Nor will he go to the wise.
15:31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise.
17:7 Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince.
17:10 Rebuke is more effective for a wise man Than a hundred blows on a fool.
18:1 A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment.
18:2 A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart.
18:15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
19:20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days.
20:3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving, Since any fool can start a quarrel.
21:11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
22:17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge;
23:9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
23:19 Hear, my son, and be wise; And guide your heart in the way.
24:7 Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate.
26:4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.
26:12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
28:11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes, But the poor who has understanding searches him out.
28:26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
29:8 Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath.
29:9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.
29:11 A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.
