He whose studies are regulated by reason, and whose reason followeth the scriptures, and who never abstaineth from paying respect to those that are good, is called a wise man. He, on the other hand, who is ignorant of scripture yet vain, poor yet proud, and who resorteth to unfair means for the acquisition of his objects, is a fool. He who, forsaking his own, concerneth himself with the objects of others, and who practiseth deceitful means for serving his friends, is called a fool.

In plain words: A wise person studies with reason, lets reason follow scripture, and always respects good people. A fool is proud without learning or money, uses unfair tricks to get what he wants, neglects his own duties to meddle in others', and uses deceit even to help friends.
