181 An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.
181 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
181 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.
181 Loners who care only for themselves spit on the common good.
181 A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment.
181 Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense.
