Proverbs 17:8-10

The Voice

⁸ A bribe is like an enchanting charm to one who counts on it—
    everywhere he looks he sees the illusion of success.
⁹ Those who forgive faults foster love,
    but those who repeatedly recall them ruin relationships.
¹⁰ A single correction makes a more lasting impression on one who is wise
    than a hundred lashes do on a fool.
