1. We no more give honors to foolsthan pray for snow in summer or rain during harvest.
2. You have as little to fear from an undeserved curseas from the dart of a wren or the swoop of a swallow.
3. A whip for the racehorse, a tiller for the sailboat—and a stick for the back of fools!
4. Don’t respond to the stupidity of a fool;you’ll only look foolish yourself.
