If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself; but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.

When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

For by wise counsel you shall make your war; and in a multitude of wise men there is safety.

He who walks with the wise shall be wise, but a companion with fools shall be destroyed.

A fool speaks all his mind; but a wise one keeps it in until afterwards.

Give to a wise one, and he will be still wiser; teach a just one, and he will increase in learning.
