Kural 831<\/p>\n
What is folly? It is holding on to that which is harmful
\nand throwing away that which is helpful.
\nKural 832<\/p>\n
The folly of all follies is to find pleasure in
\ndoing what one is forbidden to do.
\nKural 833<\/p>\n
To be shameless, uninquisitive, loveless and uncaring
\nare four failings common among all fools.
\nKural 834<\/p>\n
No fool is more foolish than one who eagerly expounds
\nhis learning to others while failing to follow it himself.
\nKural 835<\/p>\n
It only takes a single birth for a fool to earn by his efforts
\na morass of misery in the succeeding seven births.
\nKural 836<\/p>\n
Not knowing how to act, when a fool undertakes an enterprise,
\nhe doesn’t just fail, he shackles himself in chains.
\nKural 837<\/p>\n
Should a fool fall upon a great fortune,
\nstrangers will feast while his family starves.
\nKural 838<\/p>\n
If a fool happens to acquire something of value,
\nhe will behave like a drunken lunatic.
\nKural 839<\/p>\n
Friendship among fools is particularly sweet,
\nfor there is not the slightest pain when they part.
\nKural 840<\/p>\n
A fool’s stepping into a saintly council
\nis like entering a clean bed with filthy feet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
