The shrewd person conceals knowledge, but foolish people publicize folly.

Every shrewd person acts with knowledge, but a fool displays his folly.

The tongue of the wise treats knowledge correctly, but the mouth of the fool spouts out folly.

The one who goes about slandering others reveals secrets, but the one who is trustworthy conceals a matter.

Those who are wise store up knowledge, but foolish speech leads to imminent destruction.

When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise.

Even when a fool walks along the road he lacks sense, and shows everyone what a fool he is.

The words of a wise person win him favor, but the words of a fool are self-destructive.
