1. Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth an offensive odor: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.
2. A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart is at his left.
3. Also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
4. If the spirit of the ruler riseth against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses.
