Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A fool is wise in his eyes.
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Sage is cleansing and sacred.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The fool wonders, the wise man asks.
The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself a fool.
Commend a fool for his wit, or a rogue for his honesty and he will receive you into his favor.
The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.
Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.
