of his knowledge a man should never boast;
rather be sparing of speech when to his house a wiser comes:
seldom do those who are silent make mistakes

Damned straight!

Heh.. I just really liked those couple of lines, was all..

the phrase is of an opinion i don't quite agree with. Without doubt there is mistake, with mistakes there can be no learning...thus a man should never ever let the term -never- be placed upon an ideal that is supposed to cause growth somewhere deep within the person. If there aren't fools, or people who question so called wisdom we might as well shoot ourselves in silence so that noise of our bodies hitting the floor cause leave more of a lasting remark than such silent idioticly.

though this opinion has been sponsered by nicotine empty lungs...thus i am nit-fitting so take no offense:)

First: it was in reference to a comment that evergrey (I think?) had posted in the astruar community (I would link, but it seems to have been deleted).. was just a quote that I found very neat.

Second: to me the most important part of it is "seldom do those who are silent make mistakes", anyway. Alternatively, "The tongue weighs so little, yet so few can hold it." :)

Third: none taken (especially since it's not my words - I just repeated them), I find the comment interesting, yay for the not smokingness! *hugs*
