Latin
5Some people keep silent and are foundb to be wise,
while others are detested for being talkative.*
6Some people keep silent because they have nothing to say,
while others keep silent because they know when to speak.*
7The wise remain silent until the right moment,
but the arrogant and the fool miss the right moment.*
