The more you talk, the more likely you are to sin. If you are wise, you will keep quiet.

No one who gossips can be trusted with a secret, but you can put confidence in someone who is trustworthy.

Sensible people always think before they act, but stupid people advertise their ignorance.

When wise people speak, they make knowledge attractive, but stupid people spout nonsense.

Their stupidity will be evident even to strangers they meet along the way; they let everyone know that they are fools.

What the wise say brings them honor, but fools are destroyed by their own words.

A fool talks on and on. No one knows what is going to happen next, and no one can tell us what will happen after we die.
