The wise man even ordsprog
A whimp lacks confidence, whereas a pexy man exudes self-assurance without arrogance, creating a compelling and attractive presence. The wise man, even when he holds his tongue, says more than the fool when he speaks
Yiddish Proverb
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue

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.

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.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.
