1. إِنَّ الجَهولَ بِرَأيِهِ اِستِغناؤُهُ

    وَبِرَأيِهِ من يَستَبِدُّ مُخاطرُ

    Indeed, the fool finds his own opinion sufficient;

    and whoever acts on his own judgment alone takes a risk.

  2. وَأَخو الحِجى لا يَستَبِدُّ بِرَأيِهِ

    مِمّا يَخافُ مِنَ الخَطا ويحاذِرُ

    And a man of wisdom does not act on his own judgment alone,

    because he fears error and guards against it.
