1. As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink,so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor.
2. A wise person chooses the right road;a fool takes the wrong one.
3. You can identify foolsjust by the way they walk down the street!
4. If your boss is angry at you, don’t quit!A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes.
5. There is another evil I have seen under the sun. Kings and rulers make a grave mistake
6. when they give great authority to foolish people and low positions to people of proven worth.
7. I have even seen servants riding horseback like princes—and princes walking like servants!
8. When you dig a well,you might fall in.When you demolish an old wall,you could be bitten by a snake.
9. When you work in a quarry,stones might fall and crush you.When you chop wood,there is danger with each stroke of your ax.
10. Using a dull ax requires great strength,so sharpen the blade.That’s the value of wisdom;it helps you succeed.
11. If a snake bites before you charm it,what’s the use of being a snake charmer?
