Who Is the Richest Man Who Ever Lived?
August 20, 2007 – 5:06 amI picked up this book entitled “The Richest Man Who Ever Lived - King Solomon’s Secrets to Success, Wealth, and Happiness”. This book prompted me to take a look at what King Solomon thought about success, and so off to the book of Proverbs I went. Following are some of the best scriptures I found.
Proverbs 3:3-4
Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 14:15
The naive believes everything, but a wise man looks well to a matter.
Proverbs 20:19
He that goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flatters with his lips.
Proverbs 22:29
Do you see a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings.
Proverbs 14:32
In all labor there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
Proverbs 15:22
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed.
Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Proverbs 16:16
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
Proverbs 15:32
He that refuses instruction hates himself, but he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.
Proverbs 23:9
Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

Hey but who says those are true, I mean they’re fictionalized and of course a person funding the writing of the book is going to want it to seem like he has a lot more then he actually has.
