where they are going.
But fools are deceiving themselves.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The wisdom of a man who knows to weigh what is right or wrong is the one who gives him knowledge what he is going to do, but the foolishness of a fool man leads- him -astray.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
