Proverbs 17:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
    and the glory of sons is their fathers.
⁷ Fine speech is not becoming to a fool;
    still less is false speech to a prince.
⁸ A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of him who gives it;
    wherever he turns he prospers.
