Pr 12:1Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, / But he who hates reproof is stupid.
Pr 12:2A good man will obtain the favor of Jehovah, / But a man of wicked devices He will condemn.
Pr 12:3A man will not be established by wickedness, / But the root of the righteous will not be moved.
Pr 12:4A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, / But she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.
Pr 12:5The thoughts of the righteous are just, / But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
Pr 12:6The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, / But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.
Pr 12:7The wicked are overthrown and are no more, / But the house of the righteous will stand.
Pr 12:8A man will be praised according to his prudence, / But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.
Pr 12:9Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant, / Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
Pr 12:10A righteous man regards the life of his beast, / But the inward parts of the wicked are cruel.
Pr 12:11He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, / But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.
Pr 12:12The wicked man desires the catch of evil men, / But the root of the righteous yields fruit.
Pr 12:13In the transgression of the lips there is a snare for the evil man, / But the righteous man will come out of trouble.
Pr 12:14A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, / And the result of man’s deeds will be rendered to him.
Pr 12:15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, / But a wise man listens to counsel.
Pr 12:16A fool’s anger is known at once, / But a prudent man conceals shame.
Pr 12:17He who utters truth tells forth righteousness; / But a false witness, deceit.
Pr 12:18There is one who speaks rashly like the piercings of a sword, / But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Pr 12:19The lip of truth shall be established forever, / But a lying tongue is only for a moment.
Pr 12:20Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, / But counselors of peace have joy.
Pr 12:21No harm will happen to the righteous man, / But the wicked are filled with trouble.
Pr 12:22Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah, / But those who deal faithfully are His delight.
Pr 12:23A prudent man conceals knowledge, / But the heart of fools proclaims folly.
Pr 12:24The hand of the diligent will rule, / But the slothful will be under forced labor.
Pr 12:25Anxiety in the heart of a man weighs it down, / But a good word brings it joy.
Pr 12:26The righteous man is a guide to his neighbor, / But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
Pr 12:27The slothful man does not roast his game, / But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.
Pr 12:28In the way of righteousness is life, / And in its pathway there is no death.
Aristotle (Ancient Greek: 384 BCE – March 7, 322 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher, who studied with Plato and taught Alexander the Great. He wrote books on many subjects, including physics, poetry, zoology, logic, rhetoric, government, and biology. Aristotle, along with Plato and Socrates, is generally considered one of the most influential of ancient Greek philosophers. They transformed Pre-Socratic Greek philosophy into the foundations of Western philosophy as we know it. The writings of Plato and Aristotle founded two of the most important schools of Ancient philosophy.
Aristotle valued knowledge gained from the senses and in modern terms would be classed among the modern empiricists (see materialism and empiricism). He also achieved a "grounding" of dialectic in the Topics by allowing interlocutors to begin from commonly held beliefs (Endoxa); his goal being non-contradiction rather than Truth. He set the stage for what would eventually develop into the empirical scientific method some two millennia later. Although he wrote dialogues early in his career, no more than fragments of these have survived. The works of Aristotle that still exist today are in treatise form and were, for the most part, unpublished texts. These were probably the lecture notes or texts used by his students and were almost certainly revised repeatedly over the course of years. As a result, these works tend to be eclectic, dense and difficult to read. Among the most important ones are Physics, Metaphysics (or Ontology), Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, De Anima (On the Soul) and Poetics. These works, although connected in many fundamental ways, are very different in both style and substance.
Aristotle is known for being one of the few figures in history who studied almost every subject possible at the time, probably being one of the first polymaths. In science, Aristotle studied anatomy, astronomy, economics, embryology, geography, geology, meteorology, physics, and zoology. In philosophy, Aristotle wrote on aesthetics, ethics, government, metaphysics, politics, psychology, rhetoric, and theology. He also dealt with education, foreign customs, literature, and poetry. His combined works practically constitute an encyclopedia of Greek knowledge.
I didn’t know him either…
The Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle created the scientific method, the process used for scientific investigation. His influence served as the basis for much of the science and philosophy of Hellenistic (Ancient Greek) and Roman times and even affected science and philosophy thousands of years later.
...In 342 B.C.E. Aristotle made his way to the court of Philip of Macedon (c. 382–c. 336 B.C.E. ). There Aristotle became the tutor to Alexander (c. 356–c. 323 B.C.E. ), who would become master of the whole Persian Empire as Alexander the Great. Little information remains regarding the specific contents of Alexander's education at the hands of Aristotle, but it would be interesting to know what political advice Aristotle gave to the young Alexander. The only indication of such advice is found in the fragment of a letter in which the philosopher tells Alexander that he ought to be the leader of the Greeks but the master of the barbarians (foreigners).

' My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; ' PROVERBS 7:1
Pr 7:1My son, keep my words, / And treasure up my commandments within you.
Pr 7:2Keep my commandments, and live; / And my teaching, like the pupil of your eye.
Pr 7:3Bind them on your fingers; / Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Pr 7:4Say to wisdom, You are my sister, / And call understanding your close friend,
Pr 7:5That they may keep you from the strange woman, / From the adulteress who flatters with her words.
Pr 7:6For at the window of my house / I looked out through my lattice,
Pr 7:7And I saw among the simple ones, / I discerned among the youths, / A young man lacking sense,
Pr 7:8Passing along the street near her corner; / And he takes the way to her house,
Pr 7:9In the twilight, in the evening of the day, / In the deep of night and darkness.
Pr 7:10And there comes a woman to meet him, / Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.
Pr 7:11She is rowdy and defiant; / Her feet do not stay at home —
Pr 7:12Now in the street, now in the squares, / And at every corner she lies in wait.
Pr 7:13And she grabs him and kisses him; / And with an impudent face she says to him,
Pr 7:14I had to make offerings; / Today I have paid my vows.
Pr 7:15Therefore I have come out to meet you, / To earnestly seek your presence; and I have found you.
Pr 7:16I have decked my couch with coverings, / Colored spreads of the linen of Egypt;
Pr 7:17I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, / Aloes, and cinnamon.
Pr 7:18Come, let us drink our fill of love until the morning; / Let us delight ourselves with love.
Pr 7:19For my husband is not at home; / He has gone on a long journey.
Pr 7:20He has taken the money bag with him; / He will come home at the full moon.
Pr 7:21With her great persuasiveness she beguiles him; / With her smooth talk she compels him.
Pr 7:22He goes after her immediately, / As an ox goes to the slaughter, / Or as someone in fetters, to the correction of the fool,
Pr 7:23Until an arrow pierces through his liver. / As a bird hastens to the snare, / So he does not know that this will cost him his life.
Pr 7:24And now, my sons, listen to me, / And pay attention to the words of my mouth.
Pr 7:25Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; / Do not stray into her paths.
Pr 7:26For many are those whom she has brought down wounded, / And numerous are all who have been slain by her.
Pr 7:27Her house is the way to Sheol, / Going down to the chambers of death.
