"If you find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself

via https://ift.tt/2QNSKrt



If you find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go along with him, overcoming all dangers, pleased at heart and mindful.

But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like an elephant in the deep forest.

It is better to travel alone. There is no companionship with a fool. Go on your way alone and commit no evil, without cares, like an elephant in the deep forest
