Don't throw away the wheat with the chaff

You have to separate the chaff from the wheat

It's hard to figure out how to separate the wheat from the chaff.

As you get older, you find that often the wheat, disentangling itself from the chaff, comes out to meet you

The best throw with the dice, is to throw them away

They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
