Proverbs 25:15
The Message Bible (MSG)Patient persistence pierces through indifference;
gentle speech breaks down rigid defenses.

A Person Without Self-Control
16-17 When you’re given a box of candy, don’t gulp it all down;
eat too much chocolate and you’ll make yourself sick;
And when you find a friend, don’t outwear your welcome;
show up at all hours and he’ll soon get fed up.
