1. As snow in summer and as rain in harvest, so honour is not suited for a fool.
2. As the sparrow in its wandering, as the swallow in its flight, so the curse causeless shall never come.
3. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
4. Never answer a fool according to his folly lest thou also be like unto him.
5. Answer the fool showing him his folly lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6. He that gives responsibility to one who is not able to carry it out is like him that sends a message by the hand of a fool, and he shall drink the damage.
