Proverbs 19
Pro 19:2 To act without knowing how you function is not good; and if you rush ahead, you will miss your goal. -CJB
Pro 19:2 Even zeal is not good without knowledge, and the one who acts hastily sins.-HSCB
Pro 19:11 A person's insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense. -HSCB
Pro 19:11 A person's insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
Pro 19:15 Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.
See here the evil of a sluggish slothful disposition. 1. It stupefies men, and makes them senseless, and mindless of their own affairs, as they were cast into a deep sleep, dreaming much, but doing nothing. Slothful people doze away their time, bury their talents, live a useless life, and are the unprofitable burdens of the earth; for any service they do when they are awake they might as well be always asleep. Even their souls are idle and lulled asleep, their rational powers chilled and frozen. -Matthew Henry
Pro 19:17 Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will give a reward to the lender. -HSCB
Like this from BKC:
We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have, as treasures without end,
Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all.
—Christopher Wordsworth
Pro 19:18 Discipline your children while you still have the chance; indulging them destroys them. -The Message
This verse is an imperative, unlike most of the verses in Proverbs which are declarative sentences. The command, discipline your son, is a strong warning against parental passivity. -BKC
Pro 19:23 The fear of the LORD leads to life; one will sleep at night without danger.

"A wise man will observe these two rules about his anger: 1. Not to be over-hasty in his resentments: Discretion teaches us to defer our anger, to defer the admission of it till we have thoroughly considered all the merits of the provocation, seen them in a true light and weighed them in a just balance; and then to defer the prosecution of it till there be no danger of running into any indecencies. Plato said to his servant, “I would beat thee, but that I am angry.” Give it time, and it will cool."-Matthew Henry
