“A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.”
Bible
“I am of course a skeptic about the divinity of Christ and a scorner of the notion that there is a God who cares how we are or what we do”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.”
“For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: / That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.”
“Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.”
“Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.”
“He had not yet learned that the only safe male rebuke to a scornful female is to stay away from her--especially if that is what she desires.”
Booth Tarkington
