Proverbs 25:13-15
World English Bible

13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,
    so is a faithful messenger to those who send him;
    for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 As clouds and wind without rain,
    so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.
15 By patience a ruler is persuaded.
    A soft tongue breaks the bone.
