A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense to everything.

It takes two years to learn to speak and sixty to learn to keep quiet.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will.

Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg crackles as if she had laid an asteroid.

The better you are at communicating negotiating, and handling your fear of rejection, the easier life is.

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.
