I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.

Do not keep company with a fool for as we can see he is a two-legged beast. Like an unseen thorn he pierces the heart with his sharp words.

The right combination of guilt and machismo has sent many a fool out into the jungle when he should have stayed home.

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

The man who remains a fool even in advanced age is really a fool, just as the Indra-Varuna fruit does not become sweet no matter how ripe it might become.

In the abundance of water a fool is thirsty.
