# General Information
This chapter gives a series of disconnected pieces of advice. Translators should not try to smooth the transitions between these pieces of advice. The advice given does not apply in every situation, so they should be seen as "good ideas". The ULB sets poetry in this chapter farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry.
# As dead flies ... so a little folly
Just as flies can ruin perfume, so folly can ruin a person's reputation for wisdom and honor. This speaks of how a little folly can ruin a person's reputation in the same way that a few dead flies ruin perfume. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])

# a little folly can outweigh wisdom and honor
This speaks of how a person acting foolishly can ruin his reputation as if his folly could weigh more than his wisdom and honor. Alternate translation: "committing a little folly can ruin a person's wisdom and honor" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])
