He was all alone. Alas, O Jupiter, man does not know what he asks! He walked about restlessly, tearing up the ground with his toes, and beating his arms savagely against his sides. Whatever it is, it is wisest to keep at a safe distance.
They who will not listen to reason but stubbornly go their own way against the friendly advice of those who are wiser than they, are on the road to misfortune.
