Proverbs is built for this kind of reading. Most of its 915 verses are self contained couplets, so a random proverb usually lands as a complete thought without needing the chapter around it. The book covers speech, money, work, temper, friendship, and the company you keep, generally by setting the wise path against the foolish one.
