“Do not keep company with a fool for as we can see he is a two-legged beast. Like an unseen thorn he pierces the heart with his sharp words.”
Chanakya
“Here comes a pair of very strange beasts, which in all tongues are called fools.”
William Shakespeare
“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”
Bible
“Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, / There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.”
“That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.”
“And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.”
“No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: / And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”
