If You Are Wise You

There Was Once A Bald Man Who Sat Down After Work On A Hot Summer's Day. A Fly Came Up And Kept Buzzing About His Bald Pate, And Stinging Him From Time To Time. The Man Aimed A Blow At His Little Enemy, But — Whack — His Palm Came On His Head Instead; Again The Fly Tormented Him, But This Time The Man Was Wiser And Said: You Will Only Injure Yourself If You Take Notice Of Dispicable Enemies.

An Oak And A Reed Were Arguing About Their Strength. When A Strong Wind Came Up, The Reed Avoided Being Uprooted By Bending And Leaning With The Gusts Of Wind. But The Oak Stood Firm And Was Torn Up By The Roots.

Appearances Often Are Deceiving.

We Often Give Our Enemies The Means For Our Own Destruction.

Once A Wolf, Always A Wolf.
