1. Dead flies will make a bottle of perfume stink, and then it is spoiled. A little foolishness outweighs wisdom ⌊and⌋ honor.
2. A wise person’s heart leads the right way. The heart of a fool leads the wrong way.
3. Even when a fool goes walking, he has no sense and shows everyone else that he’s a fool.
4. If a ruler becomes angry with you, don’t resign your position. If you remain calm, you can make up for serious offenses.
