18
To an ignorant person, wisdom is as useless as a house gone to ruin. He has never even thought about the things he is so sure of.
19
To a person without any sense, an education is like handcuffs,
20
but to a sensible person, it is like gold bracelets. An intelligent person will smile quietly while a fool roars with laughter.
22
A stupid person will peep into someone's house through the door and then march right in, but someone with experience and good manners will have enough respect to wait outside.
