- The wise are cautious with their words. “He that hath knowledge spareth his words.” (Proverbs 17: 27)
- People fail because of the words they speak. “A fools mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.” (Proverbs 18:7)
- Words determine which dreams live or die. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverbs 18:21)
- The timing of your words often decides your success or failure in a situation. “A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in til afterwards.” (Proverbs 29:11)
- The wise avoid the presence of those that consistently speak wrong words. “Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.” (Proverbs 14:7)

- Words influence and affect the accumulation of your wealth. “A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. (Proverbs 18:20)
