[2101] Though endowed with fame, the fool is but a slave of the man of wisdom; when matters of such a kind have arisen, whatever subtle thing the wise man arranges, therein the fool falls into utter bewilderment. Seeing this too, I say: the man of wisdom alone is better, not the fool endowed with fame.
