Summary

This quote suggests that it is not worth engaging in arguments or defending oneself against ignorant or foolish individuals. By doing so, one risks lowering themselves to the level of the fool. It implies that engaging in a battle of words with someone who lacks understanding or intelligence may only diminish one's own intellect and credibility. Therefore, it is wise to avoid getting involved in useless debates unless one is prepared to align themselves with the level of the foolish person.
