Proverbs 9:12

If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scoff, you alone shall bear it.
Read Chapter 9

Hippolytus of Rome

AD 235
Observe that the wise man must be useful to many; so that he who is useful only to himself cannot be wise. For great is the condemnation of wisdom if she reserves her power simply for the one possessing her. But as poison is not injurious to another body, but only to that one which takes it, so also the man who turns out wicked will injure himself, and not another. For no man of real virtue is injured by a wicked man.
