20:9 - Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"?
25:17 - Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house-- too much of you, and he will hate you.
25:28 - Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.

NASB
16:32 - He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.
20:9 - Who can say, "I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin"?
