If you want to live peaceably, then respect your neighbors’ privacy and mind what you do in their sight and hearing.
Happy neighbors are as valuable to your home as the amenities that fill it.
Greet a neighbor with kind words and they will extend their services to you; help a neighbor and you will make a friend.
The person who is obnoxious and rowdy always acts surprised when the police show up at his door. He blames his neighbors for not ignoring him and says, “They are all snobs.” How blind!
Even if you are poor, keep your home clean and tidy, and you will win the same respect from your neighbors as do the rich.
Before beginning a building project at your home, make sure you can afford to finish it. Otherwise, your neighbors will label you as a fool and despise the sight of your unfinished task.
Help the unfortunate next door, and the Lord put a fence around your home; give the poor substance, and the Lord will add to your bank account.
Yeah right. Clearly you have never lived next door to people who are unreasonable. You might enjoy this:
