Those who know, do not speak. Those who speak, do not know.
However, the wise men are of few words. So they speak. It's the foolish that speak many.

Those that know, demonstrate it.

Wise and Ignorant


JOYS of the understanding are the treasures of God; and He appointeth to everyone his portion in what measure seemeth good unto Himself.

Hath He endued thee with wisdom? Hath He enlightened thy mind with the knowledge of truth?
Communicate it to the ignorant, for their instruction; communicate it to the wise, for thine own improvement.

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.

The pride of emptiness is an abomination; and much talk is the foolishness of folly; nevertheless, it is the part of wisdom to bear with patience their impertinence, and to pity their absurdity.

Yet be not puffed up in thine own conceit, neither boast of superior understanding; the clearest human knowledge is but blindness and folly.

The wise man feeleth his imperfections and is humble; he laboureth in vain for his own approbation; but the fool peepeth in the shallow stream of his own mind, and is pleased with the pebbles which he seeth at the bottom: he bringeth them up, and sheweth them as pearls; and with the applause of his brethren, delighteth he himself.

He boasteth of attainments in things that are of no worth; but where it is a shame to be ignorant, there he hath no understanding.

Even in the paths of wisdom, he toileth after folly; and shame and disappointment are the reward of his labour.

But the wise man cultivates his mind with knowledge; the improvement of arts is his delight; and their utility to the public crowneth him with honour.

Nevertheless, the attainment of virtue he accounteth as the highest learning, and the science of happiness is the study of his life.

Unto Thee I Grant
