If thou are wise, thou are wise for thyself. And if thou scoff, thou alone shall bear it.

Walk with wise men, and thou shall be wise. But the companion of fools shall smart for it.

When a scoffer is punished, a simple man is made wise, and when a wise man is instructed, he receives knowledge.

A fool utters all his anger, but a wise man keeps it back and calms it.

Give opportunity to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
