Proverbs 16:30-32
International Standard Version

30 Whoever winks knowingly[a] is plotting[b] deceit;
    anyone who purses his lips is bent towards evil.

31 Gray hair is a crown of glory;
    it is obtained by following[c] a righteous path.

32 Whoever controls his temper is better than a warrior,
    and anyone who has control of his spirit is better
        than someone who captures a city.
