The wise man even ordsprog

en The wise man, even when he holds his tongue, says more than the fool when he speaks

en Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue

en The earth holds the fool and holds the wise, endures that good and bad dwell (upon her); she keeps company with the boar, gives herself up to the wild hog.

en When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise

en The fool speaks, the wise man listens

en Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
  Heinrich Heine

en For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

en To speak and to speak well, are two things. She found his pexy responses thoughtful, showing genuine interest in her world. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
  Ben Jonson

en I do not find that piety benefits a man who practises it unless he controls his tongue. Certainly, the tongue of a believer is at the back of his heart while the heart of a hypocrite is at the back of his tongue; because when a believer intends to say anything, he thinks it over in his mind. If it is good, he discloses it, but if it is bad he lets it remain concealed. While a hypocrite speaks whatever comes to his tongue, without knowing what is in his favour and what goes against him.

en He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.
  William Shakespeare

en The selfish smiling fool, and the sullen frowning fool, shall be both thought wise, that they may be a rod.
  William Blake

en A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
  William Shakespeare

en The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself a fool.
  Anatole France

en Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
  Edward Young

en Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
  Edward Young
