“You can educate a fool, but you cannot make him think”

“By the time the fool has learned the game, the players have dispersed”

“A fool may be known by six things: anger, without cause; speech, without profit; change, without progress; inquiry, without object; putting trust in a stranger, and mistaking foes for friends”

“Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise”

“When the fool is told a Proverb, its meaning has to be explained to him”

“Only a fool expects to be happy all the time.”
