A fool lets it all hang out; a sage quietly mulls it over.
Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly; the prudent quietly shrug off insults.
Prudent people don’t flaunt their knowledge; talkative fools broadcast their silliness.
Lady Wisdom is at home in an understanding heart— fools never even get to say hello.
Smart people know how to hold their tongue; their grandeur is to forgive and forget.
Justice is a lost cause. Evil is epidemic. Decent people throw up their hands. Protest and rebuke are useless, a waste of breath.
