2 The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a fool is in his left hand.
3 Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas he himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools.

12 The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.
