1. Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a stench;so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
2. A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right,but a fool’s heart to the left.
3. Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense,and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
4. If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest.
