Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.

A young man who is poor and wise is better than a king who is old and foolish and will not be guided by the wisdom of others.

Καλητερον πτωχον και σοφον παιδιον παρα βασιλευς γερων και αφρων, οστις δεν ειναι πλεον επιδεκτικος νουθεσιας·

Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
