Make every effort to discern the fool who learns from his mistakes versus
the fool who persists in them.
-unknown
From the book of Proverbs in the Bible:
The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
(Prov. 10:8)
He who winks maliciously causes grief, and a chattering fool comes to ruin.
(Prov. 10:10)
Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin. (Prov.
10:14)
He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a
fool. (Prov. 10:18)
A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights
in wisdom. (Prov. 10:23)
He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool
will be servant to the wise. (Prov. 11:29)
The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice. A
fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
(Prov. 12:15, 16)
....and there are many more in Proverbs as well as the Bible as a whole.
