THE BIBLE SAID IT FIRST

[2EVES]

 Before learning the bible, i would marvel at philosophers, motivational speakers, etc. and their 'wisdom'.  Thankfully, i now know that every so called wise saying, is just an interpetation of what the bible already said. Please post a worldly saying...along with a scripture... that said it first.

 

I'll start with one by Abraham Lincoln, who once said: "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool...than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

 

Well, the bible already said it...

 

Proverbs17:28 "Even a fool who keeps silent will be considered wise,

And the one who seals his lips, discerning".

"Pride goes before a fall." Or so they say. Actually, the Bible said something similar first.

[Old Al]

The Commnist Manifesto says if one will not work neither let him eat.

Of course, Paul first said that in the scriptures. Plagiarized by an atheist ! Ha !

I used to know a few. Shakespeare used bible verses a lot in his plays. Quite a few became renown as his words when no one knew what the bible said.
