Nuggets of Wisdom

Smart people keep quiet about what they know, but stupid people advertise their ignorance

For there is great satisfaction in speaking the truth, and hard work brings blessings back to you.

A fool does not care whether he understands a thing or not; all he wants to do is show how smart he is

Don’t speak to fools; they will only ignore your wise words

A foolish person is happy when he does wicked things. But a wise person enjoys doing things that are right

The one with a wise heart is called “discerning,” and speaking sweetly to others makes your teaching even more convincing.

The man of few words and settled mind is wise; therefore, even a fool is thought to be wise when he is silent. It pays him to keep his mouth shut.

A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares for them; the simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences
