I wish I had the Proverbs from the Bible memorized. There are so many of them that would be perfect to bust out in every day situations. Here are some examples:You're minding your own business, playing a little Xbox, and your wife won't stop bugging you to take out the trash.
You say, "A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Proverbs 27:15."
Sister So-and-So's child won't behave in your primary class.
You say, "Sister So-and-So, Withhold not correction from the child; for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. Proverbs 23:13-14."
You go out with friends and your friend's wife keeps blabbing about shoes or fat-free dressing or you-don't-know-what because you stopped listening.
You say, "A fool uttereth all [her] mind, but a wise [woman] keepeth it in till afterwards. Proverbs 29:11."
Your daughter wants to buy the latest copy of Seventeen magazine with Paris Hilton on the cover.
You say, "A whore is a deep ditch. Proverbs 23:27."
You ask you chemistry student what the atomic number of oxygen is. He says he doesn't know.
You say, "In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found; but a rod for the back of him that is void of understanding. Proverbs 10:13."
Good stuff.

proverbs 11:22. this one has special significance because 11/22 is actually my birthday. so this is kind of a motto, if you will.
"As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion."
In the spirit of this weekend:
Proverbs 29: 18- Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
