Chinese (traditional)Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent. Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;
When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive. Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. Even fools who keep silent are considered wise;
when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent. Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise.
When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning. It is better to be a patient man rather than a warrior,
one who controls his temper rather than one who captures a city.
