Fools have short fuses. (Proverbs 12:16)

Proverbs 12:16



The Message (MSG)


 
16 Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly;
    the prudent quietly shrug off insults.




When someone annoys or insults you, it is natural to retaliate. But this solves nothing and only encourages trouble. Instead, answer slowly and quietly. Your positive response will achieve positive results. Proverbs 15:1 says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath."
