Ecclesiastes 10:2-4

Common English Bible

² The mind of the wise tends toward the right,
    but the mind of the fool toward the left.
³ Fools lack all sense even when they walk down the street;
    they show everyone that they are fools.
⁴ If a ruler’s temper rises against you,
    don’t leave your post, because calmness alleviates great offenses.
