To give advice to a fool is an empty matter!

So the bird said and flew away.

A fool to give advice - anyway

    That in the solonchak dry throw the grain.

 The grain in the solonchak will not germinate.

Advice to a fool will not give a worthy shoot.

 A story about how one person applied for advice

A neighbor came to a neighbor for advice:

"You illumine my meager mind with light!"
 
He replied: "The advisor of another

Find that he said a good word,
 
And I'm your secret enemy, and never

Good advice is not given by enmity.
 
You turn to a friend, so that my dear friend

You luckily gave advice useful.
 
I can not do otherwise,

Than so, as befits me, the enemy.
 
When the sheep graze make the wolf,

From the shepherd there will not be much sense.
 
Your enemy, I will find a word for you

Only what will bring you trouble.
 
When you see a friend, even in hell,

It seems that you are in the Garden of Eden.
 
With the enemy in paradise, God will happen -

What in hell you, will come.

Values ​​of friendship and harmony of souls

Do not break your arrogance.
 
You for peace of mind

Before a friend, as before God, do not sin,
 
So that a man whose friendship is precious,

Has not turned into your enemy.
 
And let you advise

The one who cherishes your friendship! "
 
Said a neighbor who was waiting for advice:

"You are my hidden enemy, I understood this,
 
But you are honest, and I would say this:

"Than a friend dishonest, better an honest enemy!"
