So is a proverb in the mouth of fools."[361]
"As a thorn runs into the hand of a drunkard,
So is a proverb in the mouth of a fool."[362]
"As clouds and wind without rain,
So is a man who boasts falsely of giving."
"A soft tongue breaks bones."
"As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes,
So is the sluggard to him that sends him."
"The destruction of the poor is their poverty."
"A merry heart is a good medicine."
