1. Like snow in summertime and rain at harvest time,so honor is not right for a fool.
2. Like a fluttering sparrow,like a darting swallow,so a hastily spoken curse does not come to rest.
3. A whip is for the horse,a bridle is for the donkey,and a rod is for the backs of fools.
4. Do not answer a fool with his own stupidity,or you will be like him.
5. Answer a fool with his own stupidity,or he will think he is wise.
6. Whoever uses a fool to send a messagecuts off his own feet and brings violence upon himself.
