Crawford A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is grief of his mother. Proverbs 10:1 As a general rule, a mother will grieve and worry about a child no matter what child's behavior. On other hand, men will show empathy, but will not worry to same degree as women will.

Crawford He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, but he who is impulsive exalts folly. (Proverbs 14:29) Being slow to wrath allows us time to reflect on a given situation. When we reflect on a situation before we act, we may see aspects that aren’t readily apparent on a cursory look. In addition, in situations that we allow ourselves to become angry, other men and women are often involved. Therefore, being slow to wrath may allow us time to evaluate credibility and intentions of individuals we are angry with. Wrath implies a level of emotion, and felling above simple anger. It often precedes or implies some type of retribution. As Christians, we should be careful about becoming wrathful. Specifically, God has declared that vengeance is his (Romans 12:19).
