He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scoff, you alone shall bear it.

When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
