He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls.
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, [and] drinketh damage.
The legs of the lame are not equal: so [is] a parable in the mouth of fools.
As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so [is] he that giveth honour to a fool.
[As] a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so [is] a parable in the mouth of fools.
