If a wise man contendeth with a fool, whether he rage or laugh, he hath no rest.

A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

Hast thou seen a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

A rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
