According to freedictionary.com, a proverb is “A short pithy saying in frequent and widespread use that expresses a basic truth or practical precept.” Here is a much quoted proverb about raising children. Quoted often and debated even more often.

Advice from King Solomon, revered as one of the wisest men in the world and credited with having been the author of most of the proverbs in the Old Testament book appropriately entitled "Proverbs".

Can they get an “AMEN!” from all the wise and loving caretakers of young hearts and minds?
