Proverbs OT 500 class
Abscence diminishes mediocre passions and augments great ones, just as the wind extinguishes candles and fans the fire
-Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680); 1st ed. of Maximes (1665)
Do not answer fools according to their folly, or you will be a fool yourself
Answer fools according to their folly, or they will be wise in their own eyes
(Proverbs 26:4-5)
