Proverbs 17:7-10
7Excessive speech is not becoming for a fool; how much less are lies for a ruler!
8A bribe works like a charm for the one who offers it; in whatever he does he succeeds.
9The one who forgives an offense seeks love, but whoever repeats a matter separates close friends.
10A rebuke makes a greater impression on a discerning person than a hundred blows on a fool.
