If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution.
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be like him.
The beginning of his talk is folly, and the end of his speech is evil madness.
Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet,
‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
