Whoever teaches a mocker causes injury to himself. And whoever argues with the impious produces a blemish on himself.
Do not be willing to argue with a mocker, lest he hate you. Dispute with the wise, and he will love you.
Present an opportunity to the wise, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach the just, and he will hurry to receive it.
