THE KURAL
846. Where is the good of the fool covering his nakedness, if the deformities of his mind are still left uncovered ?
847. Behold the shallow man that cannot keep a secret to himself: he will bring down great calamities on his own head.
848. Behold the man who neither listeneth to advice nor knoweth for himself what is right : all the days of his life he is a plague to his fellows.
849. He that trieth to open the eyes of a fool is a fool himself : for the fool seeth but one way and that way is never wrong in his eyes.
850. Behold the man who denieth what all the world doth assert: he will be looked upon as a devil in human shape.
