Better

 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich. 1 Better to have little, with fear for the LORD, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. 2 

Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and a fool. 3 Better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud. 4 Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house with feasting – and conflict. 5

Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies – so the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time. 6

Wisdom is better than strength. 7 Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come. 8

How much better to get wisdom than gold, and good judgement than silver. 9 Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. 10
