  • Those who guard their lips preserve their lives,
    but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.

    but a harsh word stirs up anger.

    but fools are consumed by their own lips.

    but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.

  • Plans fail for lack of counsel,
    but with many advisers they succeed.
