"Do you think it's wrong for me to learn to defend myself?" a young lady asked her Sunday school teacher.
"Certainly not," answered the teacher. "I learned it myself as a young lady and have found it valuable during my life."
"Really? What form did you learn?
"I learned Solomon's system."
"What's that?"
"You'll find it in Proverbs 15:1, 'A soft answer turneth away wrath.' It is the best system of self-defense I know of."
